OK. Thanks for your feedback. Those advices were born from our and
other users experience. Glad to know they helped you.

Those libraries are not needed to run linux-firefox at minimal
configuration. And we (linux freebsd-emulation@ team) try to keep
linux_base port as minimal as it can be (and not to spam disks of all
potential users of linux_base port)...

...and those libraries listed here are really at /usr/compat
directory. Just native FreeBSD ldd doen't show those path. I'd say
that it's how our current linuxulator works: it looks at /compat/linux
directory first and then reports the found filename upwards without
prefix "/compat/linux".
