Does anybody know how to convert a shared object
compiled in Linux foo-linux.so to a shared object
compiled for FreeBSD freebsd-foo.so? I mean
a freebsd-foo.so to which I can link with objects
compiled by a native FreeBSD compiler. Or
equivalently how to create a FreeBSD foo.so from
a linux foo.so which would be identical to that
which would be compiled from source in FreeBSD?

I do not need to run a Linux binary. What I need to 
do is to link my object (.o) files compiled natively
in FreeBSD with a foo.so which is a linux library.

Thanks in advance!
Simeon.
