On FreeBSD, the name of the emulation is "-melf_i386_fbsd", so allow SeaBIOS to fetch the emulation to use from the environment variables.
This allows SeaBIOS to compile on FreeBSD with gcc.

With the note that one needs to use ld from ports' binutils, not the shipped ld:
Which according to your debug output supports -melf_i386, so why this patch in that case?
FYI, I didn't see a response on this question, so I've held off on applying this patch.
If using ld from FreeBSD base you have to pass LD32BIT_FLAG=-melf_i386_fbsd. On the other hand, if using ld from ports, you can either pass the same value, or use the default one (-melf_i386). This is also needed for Illumos support:

So I don't see a reason for holding it off.
