 Unless I am misstaken it does not address devfs issues. 2003... a while ago. 
 Was that intended for FreeBSD 4.x perhaps?

 Sorry - I did not mean my patch cared about brandelf, but the Makefile already  
 did previously:
 
 .if ${OPSYS} == "FreeBSD"
         ${BRANDELF} -t Linux ${EMULDIR}/sbin/ldconfig
 .endif 
 
 Not sure why it's being run on just that. Perhaps it is an obsolete left-over 
 operation from the past (which would explain why BRANDELF has disappeared)?
