Come to realise that this is about interoperability Linux <> FreeBSD.
Which is a problem when running a mix of nodes.

First I'm focussing on getting an all FreeBSD to
	configure
	compile

Then see if we can actually build and run a dev-cluster up.

So your warning is very much appricated, but I'm not anywhere near that 
point. :(
