Linux binary looks for /proc/cpuinfo, dies when cannot be found, even when linprocfs mounted.

[Benjamin]

Hi all. I have posted this question on the forums, and it was suggested 
that I post it here.

I am currently porting Altera Quartus II design software to FreeBSD. I 
have got it installing, but running the binary requires /proc/cpuinfo to 
exist, and it dies when it can't find it.

I have both procfs and linprocfs mounted.

As a workaround (read hack) I can do the following to make the binary 
execute.

1. unmount procfs.
2. symlink /compat/linux/proc/cpuinfo to /proc/cpuinfo

Since this problem has no doubt come up before, what is the best way to 
get around this issue?

Cheers,

Benjamin
