I assume/hope that's a minor risk. /usr/local is not in the

broken. Furthermore, the toolchain is built
--with-sysroot=/compat/linux
so prepends that to all the system search paths.
Configure scripts finding *tools* in FreeBSD's /usr/local
*might* be a
risk. Not an issue building with poudriere (the build jail will
only
have what we want), but maybe an issue when someone builds the
ports in
a live system.
Well, we will see :) At least, I already have the first ports
building
fine using shell and make from the Linux userland, e.g. here:
https://github.com/Zirias/zfbsd-ports/blob/linux/sysutils/linux-man-db/Makefile
This is really fascinating work, and I see value in this even if
some other way of doing things eventually replaces the Centos-7 items.
Some of this has a bit of overlap with Gentoo prefix
(https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Prefix), where one puts the
bare bones of a Gentoo distro under a "prefix" (for example,
/compat/linux), but then you can use Gentoo's portage
infrastructure to build the other parts of the system.
I imagine, you are maybe thinking of your own set of linux-* in
the ports tree, but this might also be useful area to borrow from?
Anyway, I'll lurk back into the shadows to see how this develops.
