Uhm actualy, as said on IRC, it seems the ELF standard doesn't deprecate
non-SYSV tags, so _FREEBSD is not that "weird".

Sounds interesting.  So what you're saying is to be like amd64 in:

lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2005-12-31 02:47:34 ./lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 -> ld-2.3.5.so
lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2005-11-13 02:44:12 ./lib/ld-linux.so.2 -> /emul/ia32-linux/lib/ld-2.3.2.so

(I assume ld-linux.so is being used instead of ld-linux-i386.so only for
compatibility reasons)

But ld-linux.so.2 is only used for historical reasons (there was ld-linux.so.1
once), so why not ld-kfreebsd-i386.so.1 instead ?
