By the way, GNU LIBC was ported to NetBSD last November/December.
 See:  http://www.geocities.com/velcok/netbsd-gnu.html

(That was in addition to the porting done by Debian/BSD projects.)

glibc is not part of the official NetBSD pkgsrc though (but regular glibc
is part of my pkgsrc which I use for Linux).

It is happening.

By the way, using old (but official) Tendra, I have built parts of FreeBSD
userland. The new Tendra (development version) has been continually
improved; I need to use it to try to buildworld.
