Well before it was working it most cases, but it's already the third
time we encounter a problem with a specific package. In all case the
solution is too copy the linux-gnu part into kfreebsd*-gnu.

There is also Gentoo, which recently started to provide GNU/kFreeBSD base,
but it is actually the same people behind it.

_LC_AC_LOCK will probably be the only thing different from GNU/Linux,
because the ld target is different. Currently we are not supporting
bi-arch on x86_64 because our kernel has some problems with it, but that
will probably come soon.
I have attached a patch for that part.
