The linux_base ports are not designed to do linux development. They =20
are designed to run Linux programs on FreeBSD. As such some files are =20
missing to give a fallthrough to the FreeBSD versions of it.

If you want to do Linux development on FreeBSD you need to install a =20
linux_dist port (contains a compiler toolchain) and chroot into the =20
corresponding directory (it's in /usr/local/...).
