Also, my P150 makes compiles long and painful :) To avoid all that, I'm trying to see if a simple binary pkg_add to Linux-emul 7 would do the trick. I could try a direct pkg_add from the FBSD-5 ports tree (it all goes into /compat anyway, right?) but I'm not sure about the kld issue. Anyway, I'll think about my options, and whether compiling from scratch is really worth it for me.
