>Description:
	pkgsrc/emulators/freebsd_lib (and possibly the kernel, though
	I haven't checked) supports only FreeBSD a.out executables,
	not ELF.

>How-To-Repeat:
	I got a beta version of some software in FreeBSD ELF format,
	but presumably you can download an ELF executable from
	freebsd.org to reproduce.

>Fix:
	Not supplied, but should be easy.
