Why can't the linux emulation be fixed?  IMHO, setting
kern.fallback_elf_brand on amd64 should be functional and cause both
elf32 and elf64 (when it comes) to use this value.  The user should be
able to update each independently as well.

rpm scripts should also be fixed.  It seems like a bug in the rpm port
that no one has addressed.
