Hello, trying to install Pharo on my FreeBSD (11-CURRENT 64bit) with no luck :(

Facts:

1) I can run Linux (even 64bit Linux ELF) binaries on FreeBSD

2) but I can't use precompiled Linux 32binaries from Pharo.org, because there 
is no 32libs (32bit linux libs) support on 64bit FreeBSD

3) tried build from https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm - no luck, 
because newImage script downloads 5.0 image and Linux VM (!) for intermediate 
VMMaker build (I can't build Pharo without working Pharo)

4) tried latest prebuild 64 bit Cog Spur Linux VM from 
http://www.mirandabanda.org/cogblog/downloads/ (cogspur64linuxht) - no luck - I 
don't know what the "squeak" start SH script is doing and it's intended for 
Linux

Is actual build documentation for latest 64 bit Cog-Spur-something-something-VM 
somewhere?
Will be FFI (New-Native-something-something-FFI) working fine under FreeBSD 
(another unix), or will be some low-level core C porting needed?

I can help with adapting build scrits also for FreeBSD - this OS is small, 
fast, robust and secure (there is ZFS, Jails for isolation, everything is 
simple etc etc) - perfect for running Pharo images on server side - I really 
like this combo (BSD+Smalltalk).

Thanks, Petr Fischer
