Give up, it's long gone. It was for FreeBSD-2.1.0, anyway, and is
now totally obsolete. I deleted it from my FTP site not long ago.

That's really your best bet.

Binutils-2.9.1 has an "i386-unknown-freebsdelf" target that's
closer. But there are still some additional patches that need to be
made. You're best off just using FreeBSD-3.x.
Note, you also need an ELF version of gcc. Again, that's in
FreeBSD-3.x.
And, you need the startup files, and probably some other stuff. All
in FreeBSD-3.x. :-)
