i've heard about the impressive portability of the netbsd system, especially
it's kernel.
i've also heard that it's possible to cross-compile the whole system for a
different target 'isa'.
so, i wondered if it's possible to compile the netbsd kernel (only) source from
a gnu/linux system like ubuntu. i don't expect to "run" the kernel, just to
modify the source (primarily working on updating from older 'c' to c99 and
secondarily to identify and patch code issues with security) and compile to
test whether everything goes through and then submit the patches.
all this because netbsd won't support all of my hardware and also incapability
to use virtualisation.
thanks.
