Thanks to you too!

 I tried also a crosscompiler for the 32-bit FreeBSD 6.1/i386
and checked if the 'bfd/config.bfd' had anything special for
this target, different from the Linux/i386 for instance. And
it definitely had, and this special 'bfd_elf32_i386_freebsd_vec'
not listed for  the  'x86_64-*-freebsd*'...  Adding that maybe
fixed the 32-bit support with '-m32' but not the 64-bit.  So
I already guessed that something should still be done to implement
that missing 'bfd_elf64_x86_64_freebsd_vec'.  The 'alpha' port
for FreeBSD had its own special 'elf64_alpha_freebsd_vec'
already...

 Why the official GNU binutils don't have this support for the
FreeBSD/x86_64 (I checked the '060713' snapshots too), was
of course weird. Anyway getting it "locally" should now
succeed...

 The 'i586-freebsd6.1' target toolchains (gcc-3.4.6, 4.0.3 and
4.1.1) I built seemed to produce quite "right" executables,
lets see what the 'x86_64-freebsd6.1' ones will do now.  Of
course reproducing all their 'libgcc_s.so.1's and 'libstdc++.so's
must be done...
