Which distribution of Linux are you running on the ARM processor?

That would be *OPENSTEP* v4.2 for Mach.  Additionally, OS4.2 was only released
for NeXT, Intel, HPPA & SPARC.  There was talk of a PPC port, but it was never
released.

FreeBSD uses ELF binaries, I'm not sure about Darwin.   OPENSTEP uses Mach-O
binaries which are incompatible with FreeBSD.
