Nope.  I now have a kernel built with the following:

#options        COMPAT_SVR4 # binary compatibility with SVR4
options     COMPAT_IBCS2    # binary compatibility with SCO and ISC
#options        COMPAT_LINUX    # binary compatibility with Linux
#options        COMPAT_FREEBSD  # binary compatibility with FreeBSD

# Executable format options
options     EXEC_ELF32  # 32-bit ELF executables (SVR4, Linux)

Can the ELF line be messing me up?  How about the emul directory?  What
do I need in there?  Is there a man page coming?  If someone can help me
I'll put the man page together.
