Would it be interesting to run guix on one of the > more exotic architectures, Debian GNU/kFreeBSD? :) Let’s dream to Diverse Double Compilation at the kernel level using cross-compilation with Hurd and kFreeBSD. :-) At each step, using a DDC compiler: CrossCompil(linux on Hurd) = Linux-H CrossCompil(linux on kFreeBSD) = Linux-F Compil(linux on Linux-H) = Linux-X Compil(linux on Linux-F) = Linux-Y Compil(linux on Linux-X) = Linux-A Compil(linux on Linux-Y) = Linux-B if Linux-A == Linux-B then ok else ko. :-) Somehow. ;-) Cheers, simon
