Building FreeBSD on other platforms is one of the = requests we get very often from embedded systems vendors. Cheap = virtualisation has made it less urgent (they can just stick a FreeBSD = VirtualBox VM on their workstations), but it's definitely something we'd = like eventually. To my knowledge, no one is working on it, but we = should aim to make life easy for whoever does... I guess I should clarify: I wasn=92t talking about cross building in = general, but specifically on Windows. It=92s far easier to setup a = case-sensitive file system on OS X and cross build FreeBSD from there = than it is on Windows. I=92m not even sure NetBSD builds on Windows = with Cygwin anymore. Warner was working on building FreeBSD from OS X, IIRC. -- Rui Paulo
