Hello! I have recently started to use FreeBSD on my Raspberry Pi 3, when I noticed that there is no lib32 support, i.e. you cannot run 32 bit ARM binaries. As I am currently a student with a lot of time to kill during the summer, I am thinking about implementing this. I would like to know: * what needs to be ported/adapted to get lib32 support working? * has there been any existing work in this direction? * is there interest in implementing this feature? * if yes, would this feature be suitable for a gsoc project? I have no experience in working on the FreeBSD kernel except for a one-line patch I wrote to get an LPT port card running. I have (for a student) very good knowledge of programming in C. I know how to read and write assembly code. I have a reasonable idea of how the FreeBSD kernel is structured.
