I'm actually not building it from scratch :-) I'm using the pkgsrc
package manager (www.pkgsrc.org) that is source based and create binary
packages in the local computer. The problem is that the contents of the
package differs in the case when /proc is mounted...

I was just pasting NetBSD's /proc/{cpuinfo,meminfo}. Thanks for doing
that :-) But yeah, other systems might not have this. I know working on
portability can be painful. That is why most projects support GNU/Linux
only and let other systems developers port their application. Anyway,
can /proc be unmounted in GNU/Linux somehow?
Thank you very much.
