If it was to brandelf a static linux executable so that the FreeBSD

brandelf in the base system.
If someone says that exactly this case has been fixed recently: it
would be great to hear on emulation@ about cases where brandelf is
still needed.
If static linux binary contains .note.ABI-tag section, and I believe
that relatively modern binaries do, then brand is autodetected.
Our linuxulator is not restricted to modern binaries. I remember
reports from people which run or try to run binaries (proprietary
stuff, all limitations of non-open-source software applies) from linux
2.2 or even older. It's been a while since I've seen such a report,
but as it typically just works, I can not tell that we can be sure
that nobody wants to run binaries which do not fit your definition of
"relatively modern".
Bye,
Alexander.
