Did you ever read through my old https://landley.net/aboriginal/about.html page?

Making distro builds host-agnostic was sort of my thing for a longish time. :)

I've seen. (And the list header rewrite thing worked! Your emails did not wind
up in the spam folder this time, although the "list copy came through first" vs
"cc: copy came through first" thing is still splitting them across two folders
because gmail can't _not_ kill duplicates.)

At one point, I'm told that worked. At least for a subset of the commands. Stuff
like "ps" is extremely linux-specific because there _is_ no portable way to do
that. Although I'm told BSD's Linux emulation layer works? But my own attempts
at testing that...
