I don't believe that BSD/OS 2.0 is capable of running any sort of
FreeBSD binaries now, linked with -Q or otherwise.  They've simply
done too much to break binary compatability with FreeBSD and my last
few attempts to get things working on a BSD/OS 2.0 box led to failure.

You'd be better off building under BSD/OS and running with FreeBSD,
really, since we've gone to a lot more effort to stay compat than
they evidently have. :-(
