Hmm.  What's the status of our ELF support?  Can I just use the
ELF version and make a cross development system for FreeBSD
ELF binaries?  I assume we're going to have native ELF support
some time in the future, so if there was a patch kit to 2.2.1
(or even 3.0) I could live with that.

Will try to do that.
