How do I configure gnu binutils to support freebsd on linux?

What is the difference between linux-a.out and freebsd-a.out?

It seems file can tell the difference, but the binutils work
fine without both...I just configure binutils with i386-linux and
i386-freebsd and its getting confused (i.e. it can't choose
a format when looking a freebsd binary...)
