Hello

I'm very interested in what I've seen of Beta, so I tried the Linux
version out on FreeBSD.
FreeBSD is able to run (99% of) Linux ELF binaries and has a pretty
complete set of linux compatible libraries, so I was hoping to get away
with it. If I compile the hello world program, everything seems to work
ok; but then when I try to run it I get a core dump. Technically, should
it be possible to produce useable Linux binaries with Beta on FreeBSD?

This is the output I got.

#> beta hello.bet
