Hi list,

I prefer to statically link modules instead of loading them via loader.conf. 
This time I wanted to link linux.ko. The man page for 'linux' suggests to put 
"options COMPAT_LINUX" in KERNCONF. I did exactly so, only to see build 
failure. Failure says unknown option COMPAT_LINUX. With little poking around I 
figured out the options is COMPAT_LINUX32 and this did make sense as only i386 
Linux binaries are supported. I guess man page is in error and needs some 
love.
