When /compat isn't a link to * /usr/compat, then this port will fail (or the linuxulator, depending on * how you look at it :-). I think using /compat/linux consistently is more * important functionality-wise than changing it for cosmetic reasons. I agree. The kernel looks for linux files in /compat/linux, and that's where the port should install it. Whether /compat/linux is a symlink to /usr/compat/linux or someplace else is not the port's business.
