No, I don't have any linux[32|64]_load="YES" entries in my loader.conf

Interestingly, kldstat output shows I have a linux.ko and linux64.ko
module loaded.

The FreeBSD I'm running was originally FreeBSD 9.0, and I've upgraded
(not fresh installed) my OS after every FreeBSD release up to the
current 10.3. I don't believe Linux 64-bit support was available back in
FreeBSD 9.0 days, only 32-bit support. Maybe that is why 32-bit Linux
binaries still work - I don't know. :-)

Either way, I'm not too bothered - I don't really need to run much Linux
applications these days. Only the Beyond Compare 3 Linux binary, as they
don't support FreeBSD at this point.
