Did you look? http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook314.html 23.1.4. Installing Linux ELF binaries ELF binaries sometimes require an extra step of ``branding''. If you attempt to run an unbranded ELF binary, you will get an error message like the following: % ./my-linux-elf-binary ELF binary type not known Abort % To help the FreeBSD kernel distinguish between a FreeBSD ELF binary from a a Linux one, use the brandelf(1) utility: % brandelf -t Linux my-linux-elf-binary The GNU toolchain now places the appropriate branding information into ELF binaries automatically, so you should be needing to do this step increasingly rarely in the future.
