Re: [gentoo-bsd] linux binaries

["François Saint-Jacques" <franklinchef@gmail.com>]

I'm not sure if this is correct, but FreeBSD's glibc is not the same  
as GNU-glibc. Like the entire userland, it was developped by the  
FreeBSD dev-team. This means that there is no NTPL in this version of  
glibc because it's not the same sources as the GNU-glibc on Linux.  
This is due to the fact that glibc depends mostly on kernel calls  
wich are not the same on the FreeBSD kernel vs Linux.

Like I said, I could be totaly wrong.
