Compiled on 7-current i386. Extracting it on amd64 and using it
directly should be possible (not on FreeBSD 6.x). Linux on amd64 is
32bit, so the 32bit executable should work on the ktrace.

To compile it on your own: mv /compat/linux to somewhere else, install
the gentoo linux_base (you have to ingnore the conflict), build the
linux_kdump port (maybe also a "make package"), deinstall the gentoo
linux_base and move /compat/linux back.

Bye,
Alexander.
