Actually, we compile the kernel of FreeBSD regularly, both 8-STABLE
and 9-CURRENT.  It is the base of the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD
distribution.  We've recently ported the build system so that it can
be compiled on Debian GNU/Linux as well.  You can see build logs here:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=kfreebsd-9&suite=experimental

We don't currently provide the FreeBSD bootloader, though we might do
in the future (it just takes someone to be interested enough to make a
Debian package).  I guess it doesn't hurt to wrap
no-align-long-strings as well? (but if you prefer, I can send a patch
for format-extensions only).

Thanks!
