FreeBSD on the raspberry pi

My biggest problem with fbsd in the rpi is that it's really hard to cross-compile ports for arm, and compiling everything in the rpi takes a lot of time (I think it was half a day to compile tmux in the rpi A).

There has been quite a bit of work done to make cross compiling packages for ARM with poudriere. A fairly good tutorial on how to set that up can be found at https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/building-arm-packages-wit...

Luckily there are now binary packages for armv6 on FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT (which is really stable at this point).

Can you run arm packages from a linux distrib under emulation?

Unlikely -- that's for i386 only (amd64 update is being worked on, IIRC)

tcc is fast enough for an rpi, it is a shame gcc/clang are so slow.
