Thanks for your work on this. This will be helpful for me on my Linux 
systems.

Maybe instead of hardcoding use of including 
../../emulators/suse_linux/Makefile.application create some generic 
../../mk/linux.mk (or linux-compat.mk) that does some of the same and then 
(for now) just uses the suse_linux.

In pkgsrc-wip there is a wip/mk/linuxbin.pkg.mk that also may give some 
ideas.

The idea is to later use Debian, Fedora and/or other Linux distributions 
instead of just SuSE Linux.
