It masks most of these application issues. If you must try something else, get the Linux version, install the linux_base port/package, make sure you have linux_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, and try run it. It should work with Linux compatibility. If you have any issues, send them to questions@FreeBSD.org.
