The goal of this project is to allow building the base system on Linux and macOS
hosts.

I started this project in 2017 to allow building
[CheriBSD](https://github.com/CTSRD-CHERI/cheribsd) on the Linux servers and
desktops that many of us working on the [CHERI project](http://www.cheri-cpu.org)
use. The first few patches were upstreamed in 2018 (see the 2018q3 report) and

The first few patches were upstreamed in 2018 (see the 2018q3 report) and
I merged the full set of patches to CheriBSD shortly after. Over the past two

As of September 2020 it should be possible to use the `buildworld` and
`buildkernel` make targets to build a fully-functional FreeBSD installation
on macOS and Linux hosts. We use this in our continuos integration system to
on macOS and Linux hosts. We use this in our continuous integration system to
build and test CheriBSD disk images for multiple architectures.
I have also committed a [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions)
configuration upstream that takes approximately 10 minutes to build an amd64
kernel. This will ensure that changes that break crossbuilding from Linux/macOS
