I'm trying to use a 3D graphics package under FreeBSD 2.1R that consists
of some linux binaries and a library.  The binaries seem to run fine,
however, I've had trouble compiling programs that want to use the library.
Is that supposed to work?  I tried unpacking the library into .o files then
remaking it and that worked better.  However, some functions still cause
a SIGSEGV.  It seems to be varargs functions that fail, specifically
vfprintf.  Any ideas?  If I can't fix this, I'll have to run Linux, so the
stakes are high...

Thanks!

Jim
