The developer who did the FreeBSD emulation for Linux mentioned on
Usenet this week that the FreeBSD emulation code is extremely incomplete
and *NO* more work would be done on it unless he was offered $$.

And, he offered to help others do the work and hasn't received any
offers of help in the last 3 months.

I suspect FreeBSD emulation under Linux will be a non-issue soon.
