We are sadly stuck building Linux kernels at this stage :-) One thing that has frequently occurred to me is that it might be nice to use NetBSD pkgsrc as the basis for C stub compilation and interfacing with OS libraries, but I've never investigated in depth. The main issue with this (as I understand it) is that pkgsrc prefers to own the compilation of all libraries and not pass through to preinstalled OS versions. Still, since Rump has been upstreamed to NetBSD the situation for the base build can only be getting better with respect to unikernel support.
