I don't think so. FreeBSD's orignal /bin/date reports correct, but  
/compat/linux/bin/date reported different. I have downgraded Linux compat  
back to 2.4 and linux_base-fc4 stuff, now I have this:

----------------------------------
# /bin/date
Tue Oct 21 01:03:20 CDT 2008
# /compat/linux/bin/date
Tue Oct 21 01:03:23 CDT 2008
----------------------------------

Which is correct. So.. Must be either a bug in Linux compat 2.6.16 or  
linux_base-f8 or it's new that I have to configure in /compat/linux/* for  
time stuff?
