There is a much shorter version which applies cleanly to modern RELENG_6
and works well:

I don't understand why this simple patch isn't committed yet. But it seems
that you've missed the point: it _doesn't_ solve the problem with the
linuxpluginwrapper and ELF symbol versioning, which is the CURRENT-only
problem. And no, I don't like running Linux-binary browsers w/flash either,
because they give confusing look of the local filesystems in the file://
mode (remember how linuxulator maps FS-related Linux requests to the FreeBSD
namespace)? And yes, I understand that native browser + linuxpluginwrapper
is a hackish way, but we have not other way aroud the problem using native
browsers (until we haven't convinced Macromedia to release FreeBSD-native
Flash plugin).
