FeeBSD as OE build host

FeeBSD as OE build host

[Arjan]

Hello,

I read here 
[http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/OEandYourDistro#FreeBSD] FreeBSD 
was/is supported as build host. Is this still true?
Are there pitfalls or other prerequisites beside the ones mentioned?

Thanks,
Arjan

I haven't tried for quite a while so there might be some more issues
again.... The most common thing is replacing cp -a with cp -pFR (IIRC).

there is a branch koen/darwin-host-fixes which should also have some fixes
that could help you. I have not tried mac osx or freebsd build in long time.
