That'll teach me not to pay attention. The benchmark as I pulled
it off of tsx-11 was kind enough to include binaries -- I relied
on ./Run to perform the build and run the tests but didn't notice
that it skipped the build.
Yes, recompiling with the newer shared lib scheme brought the two
systems close together (FWIW: 2.8 for FreeBSD, 3.1 for Linux). Sorry
about the confusion.
