Has any-one tried many Linux binaries to see which will run under this
release of FreeBSD?

I'm trying to find out just how binary compatible 2.1.5 is with Linux,
particularly, I'm interested in WABI.

(I'm having trouble getting 2.1.5 in New Zealand, and before pursueing
it further, I want to know whether it's worth the trouble)
