>Description:
emulators/suse100_base does not install on modern (devfs using) FreeBSD:s as shown in:

http://distfiles.scode.org/bulk-build/reports/20061004.2238/emulators/suse100_base/.broken.html

In addition, once this is fixed, it still does not build because it uses ${BRANDELF}, which is not defined for the FreeBSD platform.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
This patch modifies the package to not even try to set up /dev in the linux emulation chroot:

http://distfiles.scode.org/pkgsrc/suse100_base-1.diff

It does not address the potential problems of other packages actually needing /dev to be properly set up.

The patch requires this patch to work:

http://distfiles.scode.org/pkgsrc/suse100_base-2-brandelf.diff

It patches mk/platform/FreeBSD.mk to define BRANDELF.
