Hi,

	I found that GNU binutils-2.6 cannot recognize the
	binary format of FreeBSD 2.1.0.  Since I've compile
	the binutils using the configure option i386-bsd
	and the result code, eg. ld, can't distingush the
	binary of the system.

	The reason I compile binutils is that the gcc 2.7.2
	seems to generate the assembly code that the original
	as come from the distribution don't understand.

	Any hints?
