Hi Austin. My guess is that you'll have to fix it yourself, since probably very
few developers use GNU/kFreeBSD at this time.

You can look to dlls/kernel32/process.c (set_process_name) for inspiration
about what the prctl's function (and BSD equivalent?) is. However, you can't
just copy that code into the preloader, since the preloader may not depend on
*any* userspace library, not even libc or ldso. It has to do direct kernel
syscalls for anything it needs to do. Probably only someone with experience
with FreeBSD would know how to add such syscalls.

(Though perhaps it's fine to just ifdef out the whole prctl thing? Its purpose
looks quite cosmetic.)
