Hmm, are you trying to build a Linux binary or a FreeBSD binary ?? If you are trying to build a Linux binary, you should get ahold of the compiler, assembler, linker & probably some libs from a linux system and then install them in /compat/linux, that way it should work (I've done that on a -current system). I you are trying to build a FreeBSD binary out of it, I need ALOT more information on what that library is supposed to do etc etc... (please respond to sos@FreeBSD.org, this is not my primary account for FreeBSD related things)
