Building FreeBSD on other platforms is one of the requ= ests we get very often from embedded systems vendors. Cheap virtualisation= has made it less urgent (they can just stick a FreeBSD VirtualBox VM on th= eir workstations), but it's definitely something we'd like eventually.

It=E2=80=99s far easier to setup a= case-sensitive file system on OS X and cross build FreeBSD from there than= it is on Windows. Over 50% of the people that come to FreeBSD.org run windows. If it is possible to support building on windows, we should try. --=20 Eitan Adler
