http://www.opera.com/linux/index.html#faq states that the hope to
support FreeBSD with a native version :)

	"In most cases, we simply need to recompile for
         each platform and create a native package for release....."

BTW, since this needs glibc-2.1 (which I've installed and it replaced
most (all?) of the 2.0.7 files yet everything Linux still works) is there any
reason why linux_base can't be updated to include it, instead of
glibc-2.0.7??

Maybe I should deinstall it, edit the Makefile, re-build, and if it
works then submit a PR?
