Subject: Pascal for Linux won't work on FreeBSD.... Why?

Just tried to run the "Free Pascal" compiler, which can be found at 

http://tfdec1.fys.kuleuven.ac.be:80/~michael/fpc/download.html

on a FreeBSD 2.2.7 machine with the Linux emulation package installed.
(Alas, the compiler is GPL'ed and only compiles programs to ELF format.)

Here's what happened:

develop: {47} ppc386
ELF binary type not known
Abort trap
develop: {48}

I tried using the "brandelf" utility to brand the ELF executable file with 
the type "Linux" -- no dice. Got the same message.

What's wrong?
