>Description:
I recently tried to run a Linux binary on my FreeBSD 4.5
system, getting the following nastygram:
ELF binary type "0" not known.
Abort trap
Using file(1) on the binary, I got:
ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, statically
I tried an "apropos linux" with no success, and had to be
bailed out by someone on freebsd-questions.
>How-To-Repeat:
% apropos linux
>Fix:
One possible fix would be to expand the brandelf "NAME" line:
brandelf - mark an ELF binary for a specific ABI (eg, Linux)
A more general solution would be to add a "linux" page (eg, in
section 7), talking about known issues with Linux compatibility
mode, etc.
