The project is in its 'prenatal' stage yet, but I'm trying to move a bit faster towards a buildable source tree on Linux. As Philip notes: On 2007-12-04 11:33, "Philip M.

There's still a fair amount of work to make the source tree buildable on non-FreeBSD platforms. One of the next steps should be to make these FreeBSD-specific bits (mostly stuff from src/sys/sys/cdefs.h) available outside of the full FreeBSD src/ tree too. Happily, the FreeBSD source is BSD-licensed, so I can import parts of it to the bmake source tree easily :)
