Won't work. stdio is completely different from BSD<->Linux, so no
fread/fwrite calls will work, struct direct is different (scratch
opendir), ioctls are certainly different, errnos don't map the same,
signals are different, etc etc etc.

Install the linux_devel port and resign yourself to building Linux
executables whenever you have to talk to Oracle.
