No special syntax required:
1) Install the linux_lib port.
2) Install the linux_devel port.
3) When you want to produce a Linux binary, just change your $PATH
so that /compat/linux/usr/bin comes before /usr/bin, so the
Linux gcc, etc. is used instead of the FBSD tools. The result
of 'make' will then be Linux-ELF binaries.
