 If it's because of Architecture: any setting, note that
 freebsd-libs already includes portable libraries (like
 libsbuf).

Few reasons, one has been because libmd is more generic than something
like libsbuf and it's prone to be used more widely than anything in
freebsd-libs, so it might make sense to promote it to standard or
higher for example. The other reason is that the licenses in the
FreeBSD tree are a bit unfortunate so my plan is to use the OpenBSD
implementation instead.

Just have to commit my latest changes.

regards,
guillem

Are you sure there the OpenBSD version will work for FreeBSD
userland? The reporter of this bug mentioned geom.  Other
possibly interesting candidates are:

libzpool, libzfs: -lmd introduced in 9-CURRENT.

mtree: We disabled crypto functionality in 03_glibc.diff.

authpf, pfctl: We removed -lmd in 013_pf.diff. Apparently it was a
gratuitous dependency (?).

ppp: We don't currently build it (needs porting?).
