Building FreeBSD on a linux FC11 box.

[Patrick Mahan]

Hopefully, this is not too ignorant a question.  But has anyone every
built the FreeBSD sources, both kernel and apps, on a linux platform?

I did a google on 'cross-compile freebsd (linux)' and found (mostly)
discussions regarding building the linux apps for FreeBSD, but not
for building a FreeBSD kernel and world.  There was a brief discussion
on the mailing list back in 2005, but the poster never reported if
he had success or failure.  Also, there were discussions about building
freebsd amd64 on a freebsd i386.

I have done lots of development in linux using cross-compilers (mips
embedded systems, powerpc, etc).  But not with FreeBSD.

I know I'll need to use 'bsdmake' no gnu 'make'.  The other worry is
kernel-toolchain target.  I guess I'll just dive in and swim around
and see what happens.

Thanks for any pointers,

Patrick
