There is a lot of linux binaries, for whose it is often troublesome or |
| 2 |
impossible to compile a FreeBSD counterpart. For example, there is the |
| 3 |
Java beta builds or NetBeans and Eclipse java dynamic libraries. Linux |
| 4 |
compatibility in FreeBSD is inferior to run these, for example, Java is |
| 5 |
known to crash the FreeBSD system when running in linux compatibility |
| 6 |
mode, and there is no plans i've heard of to support NPTL threads in |
| 7 |
FreeBSD linux emulation. |
| 8 |
My question is: |
| 9 |
a) Does Gentoo under FreeBSD compiles the standard Linux libc there, |
| 10 |
that is, do we have linux libc which talks directly to FreeBSD kernel, |
| 11 |
and not to the FreeBSD linux kernel emulation? |
| 12 |
b) If so, is it possible to compile libc with NPTL support under |
| 13 |
Gentoo/FreeBSD? |
| 14 |
c) Is it possible to run Linux binaries under Gentoo/FreeBSD, having |
| 15 |
them linked to Gentoo=Linux libc, but using FreeBSD (and not linux |
| 16 |
emulation) kernel? |
