The question that seems to be relevant there is why the port
refuses to
install with some compat.linux.osrelease value ? Does port
run some
linux binary during install time (unlikely) ?

I think the port should ignore even absence of the linux.ko;
the value
of the linux.osrelease is purely runtime issue as opposed to
the install
time.

(drop freebsd-ports from cross posting)

Any linux port that installs a shared library (including
linux_base
ports) runs linux ldconfig while (at the very end of)
installing.
Since that ldconfig cannot run with such an old kernel it
stops with
the error.
