I have an innocent question.  I have read on the handbook and the thesis
about the Linux ABI technical explanations that lead me to think that it
could be possible to run Mac OS binaries on FreeBSD.  I think that if the
correct loader was implemented in execve and the Mac OS system calls were
also implemented it would be possible to run Mac OS binaries.  Am I right?
(I am not asking anyone to support this feature, I just would like an
hypothetic answer in order to improve my knowledge.)  Of course, I suppose
there would be technical challenges to solve as there are still for Linux.
 In fact, I would like to ask further: could this be possible for any
operating system (without thinking about if it would worth it)?
