Wolfgang,

It seems you forgot to install FreeBSD's ld.so in
/emul/freebsd/usr/libexec/ld.so -- without that, Netscape will pick up
NetBSD's ld.so and will indeed attempt to call __fstat13() (which is not in
FreeBSD).  This is explained in detail in the compat_freebsd(8) man page.

Just shared libraries doesn't cut it; you need the "helper program" that
loads those shared libraries.  This symptom of the problem might be better
described in that man page, as it is relatively specific to FreeBSD.
