Much as as I like *BSD, I'd rather see OSx ;-)

Even if I weren't afraid of Apple because of their "app store" monopolistic
grabbiness (they used to be so nice in the old days), I wasn't able to
find a reasonable way to get Mach-O executables from OMF-386 .OBJ files.
Writing a new linker seems like a great way not to have fun!

Then how about NetBSD on x86???

I really would like to attack the *BSDs ... I investigate periodically
but I just can't decide which I'd regret more:   conditionalizing the
hell out of 11K lines of Linux-specific support code, or editing a copy
into ~11K lines of BSD-specific code that's easy reading but needs to
be maintained in parallel.   Um, or I could do both?   Nah.   It would be
fun to get working though.
