Indeed, sanity-checking the new #Linux-native #GCC for #FreeBSD's #Linuxulator shows it works perfectly fine at least for C, and using static #libgcc (because I removed the libgcc_s.so file, should really be packaged separately) 🥳

So, to complete the toolchain, next steps will be separate ports for libgcc and libstdc++, should be possible to build these with this native gcc, we will see!

Another little update on this endeavor .. native #Linux #GCC for #FreeBSD's #Linuxulator finally builds! 🥳

Still needs some "love" in detail (like, correct path for man files).

And also, I have to find a way to package #libgcc separately, cause most software built for Linux using GCC will need it, and it doesn't make sense that everything pulls in the whole GCC as a dependency ...

Well, maybe tomorrow then 🙈

I am not sure honestly that the language emacs lisp is lacking so much. But I am not an expert. AFAIK the guile thing was done at a point where there was no native compilation for #EmacsLisp , which we now have thanks to #libgcc. The feeling of the 90s, I don't know, I like the style of #emacs personally but if you want something mor# flashy maybe take a look at #DoomEmacs or #SpaceMacs, of course it won't be vscode but well. There are projects also like #CliMacs but well..
