Hi all,

I'd like to try running freebsd-6 programs on dfbsd. There are
textmaker suite and ooo builds and opera and rar there.
Currently, I'm seeing such (non-trivial?) problems with this:

- syscalls map to different ordinals in freebsd-6 and dfbsd. How do I
proceed with creating the mapper and how I "include" it from elf
loader? In sys sources, linux component has too much of everything,
and dfbsd-12 has too little. Some advice, anybody?
- threads may or may not pose a problem.

What's your opinion?
