It looks like that might actually fix the tools build for FreeBSD on my
machine if the bit that he currently has versioned for DragonFly is used for
FreeBSD as well (and it probably needs to be there for every BSD). I've
never understood why the tools repo builds fine for releases but has never
built properly for me locally.
