Possibly the test should be if it can compile *and* link the compiled (assembled) code with something else.

Should be it can compile *and* if the link is compatible with target linker/code ?

Nah? Linking is what fails today. Compile/assembler -> .o file and then link .o files to a .so (or an executable). Sometimes the .o files are collected in a ".a" library too, but that part is just archiving.

--without-machine-code should do it. Please find out why it doesn't.

But I guess you could always expand the test in Image/configure.in:

elif test "`uname -s`" = "OpenBSD"; then
  #nasm on OpenBSD is braindamaged
  AC_MSG_RESULT(no)

add another three rows and s/OpenBSD/FreeBSD...? :)

Works like a charm on FreeBSD x86.
