ports/102474: linux_base-fc-4_8 appears broken, does not allow to run Linux binaries

Hi,

You probably missed the start of all this. I originally tried to get
915resolution (a Linux binary available as a port in sysutils) running on my
box. This app failed with an error message which indicated a problem with the
linux emulation. I then tried to find out which libraries 915resolution wants
to load. Upon this I found out that /compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd gives even
stranger error messages. It is not that I badly need /compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd.
It is just one of the Linux apps that behaved like something is wrong with the
linux emulation. Hence I reported it too.

BTW Boris has already helped me to fix the original problem in less than half a
day (thanks again!!). 915resolution and acroread run without problems now. As
far as I'm concerned as a FreeBSD user, I'm all set. However, if you guys feel
there is something wrong in the linux emulation beyond my original problem,
I'll be happy to provide further debug information.

regards,
Markus
