Would anyone care to suggest an appropriate linux_base port for supporting 
the linux-oracle-instantclient port(s)?

In present-day 7-Stable are there grave caveats for forcing Linux 2.6 
syscall compatibility to use one of the more recent -fc base systems?

We are trying to get a reasonable Perl interface on FreeBSD into Oracle; 
any other suggestions welcome.

Regards,
-Chris
