Which binary is it that has an unknown type? You'll probably have to brand all the
Kylix binaries to be type "linux" or FreeBSD will try to run them natively, which
won't work.
binary type 0 is SVR4 binary. Perhaps you need to be looking more into SVR4 compat
than Linux compat. That's weird, though, that the vendor would tell you the binary
was for Linux, but the brand is for SVR4.

If you're running Kylix from the CD, you won't be able to brand the binary.

Once again, I'm stil no expert, but these are some additional observations.
