Subject: running  binutils 2.8, elf  support?

In 2.*, I recall I built binutils and thinks like nm and
size ran (but not ld).

Is there a way to crosscompile on linux for freebsd?

I understand freebsd supports ELF.

Can I run the linux/elf gcc/as/ld with the write specs
file (i.e. libraries and header files) to generate freebsd
binaries?

I looked on www.freebsd.org, and couldn't come up with 
anything useful...
	1) what do I need
	2) can I have some elf binaries I can try out?

I didn't see any meaningful information in the handbook or FAQ
sheet... (did I miss something?)
