I have recently purcahsed a device that comes with a .so for linux,
but no sources.  Is there any way one can take an arbitrary linux .so
which appears to have no dependencies to a FreeBSD .so?  The binary
code is about 20k or so.

Alternatively, anybody know how to take a linux .so and generate a .s
that can be fed into the linux toolchain to generate a new .so...
