(same as FreeBSD)

However, you might need the tool "brandelf" to use statically linked
Linux binaries. Or - better - compile the program from source.

The year's at the spring                The lark's on the wing;
And day's at the morn;                  The snail's on the thorn:
Morning's at seven;                     God's in His heaven
The hill-side's dew-pearled;            All's right with the world!
