Compiling linux_base in jail fails

[Viren Patel]

Hello. I am trying to install linux_base inside a jail and
it fails with the following:

#make

Stop in /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base.

Any ideas on how to get linux emulator running inside a
jail? Thanks.

Use base-8, 7 is old and has security issues I hear. Check
/usr/ports/UPDATING. It seems to me the sysctl kern.fallback_elf_brand
is being changed, but you can't do that in a jail. Just do it as root.
Then it would be avaliable to all programs, even those you might be
running in a jail.
