Ahh... but maybe not, depending on how well we build this intermediate
syscall layer I've been talking about. If we do it right then the
binaries will run on FreeBSD 4 with the appropriate library installed.
I'm not sure if it's 100% doable (I'm not sure how we would handle
static binaries), but since we control the init code in both cases
it should be possible to make it work.
