I don't know of any port of BSD make(1) to Linux, or if=20
that would be sufficient to cross-build FreeBSD. I'm=20
trying to build a snapshot of FreeBSD make(1) which builds=20
with autoconf, for other stuff, but it may take a while=20

You can always try booting a FreeBSD snapshot inside=20
vmware or qemu, and build FreeBSD from FreeBSD, but that=20
may be a bit slow...
