>Description:
make install fails in /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base when the kernel
is built with the COMPAT_LINUX option.  This is because the Makefile
assumes that the linux.ko kernel module must be loaded to enable Linux
emulation.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile Linux compatibility support into the kernel by including the
option COMPAT_LINUX in the config file, then try installing linux_base
in ports.
>Fix:
Replace the following line in the Makefile

@if [ -z "`kldstat | ${GREP} linux.ko | ${AWK} '{print $1}'`" ]; then \

with some other means of detecting the presence of Linux support in
the kernel, e.g. check to see whether the length of

nm `sysctl kern.bootfile | ${AWK} '{print $2}'` | ${GREP} linux_ioctl

is non-zero.  There must be a better way, though. ;-)
