Yes, it is now. The linux_lib-2 tarfile contains another version, a Linux
executable. Replacing this and other files with their FreeBSD equivalents
gets FreeBSD stuff going again, although Linux executables still can't find
/lib/ld.so (This exists, I have tried both the Linux executable and the
FreeBSD shared library for /usr/libexec)
