You can help too! yeah it builds fine as it has no dependencies. currently it only has syscalls for linux (emulation) and any binary app you build against it has to be brandelf'd Linux. I would like to see the freebsd syscalls, mutex/futexes coded into it so it could be a drop in replacement for the bsd toolchain when cross-compiling for mips / zrouter.org. plus i believe the mips kernel doesn't have linux emulation. (i could be wrong). but yeah, a native port would require kernel hacking skills. re, michael. -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Esser Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 12:55 AM To: freebsd-current@freebsd.org Cc: Michael Vaile Subject: Re: FreeBSD in Google Code-In 2012?

I did not try to run any programs linked with musl under FreeBSD, but it builds flawlessly with GCC and CLANG on my amd64 -CURRENT system. The only change required was to teach GNU configure about amd64 (they expected x86_64). Making a "real" port is trivial bbut clearly a task for a junior programmer ... Regards, STefan
