VMware should allow direct access to serial ports. At least I can access my USB devices directly from my VMs. Yes, VMware supplies the system within the VM with a "generic" virtual computer with very common hardware. Your real hardware does not matter (you need drivers for the host OS of course). For batch jobs performance of guest OS should not be much less than host OS, VMware is quite efficient.
I've been using VMware for some systems which aren't too busy and I'm quite satisfied.

brandelf
BRANDELF(1) BSD General Commands Manual BRANDELF(1)
NAME
brandelf -- mark an ELF binary for a specific ABI
SYNOPSIS
brandelf [-lv] [-f ELF_ABI_number] [-t string] file ...
DESCRIPTION
The brandelf utility marks an ELF binary to be run under a certain ABI for FreeBSD.
The options are as follows:
-f ELF_ABI_number
Forces branding with the supplied ELF ABI number. Incompatible with the -t option. These values are assigned by SCO/USL.
-l Writes the list of all known ELF types to the standard error.
-v Turns on verbose output.
-t string
Brands the given ELF binaries to be of the string ABI type. Currently supported ABIs are ``FreeBSD'', ``Linux'', and ``SVR4''.
file If -t string is given it will brand file to be of type string, otherwise it will simply display the branding of file.
EXIT STATUS
Exit status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command fails if a file does not exist, is too short, fails to brand properly, or the brand
requested is not one of the known types and the -f option is not set.
EXAMPLES
The following is an example of a typical usage of the brandelf command:
brandelf file
brandelf -t Linux file
