Why not have someone with a Linux box build a Linux->FreeBSD cross compiler for the xanim author. I did this a couple of years ago for a Solaris->FreeBSD (elf) cross compiler without too much of a problem. Since we're now officially at ELF and using the GNU toolchain, it shouldn't be too difficult to do. And no, I'm not volunteering - my plate is full (and I don't have a Linux box any longer :-)). Hmm, if this were done, perhaps we could make it available for other Linux vendors to use in building native FreeBSD apps...
