SubjectRe: Any interest in building the Linux kernel from a MacOS host?
From
Date
FWIW my current workflow includes building the kernel under macOS, so
there’s some interest from me, but that will pass once the porting
project progresses enough. So far I get by with some local duct tape.

I really wanted to do it in a VM as a saner path, but I didn't find
a satisfactory way to share the working source tree between the macOS
host and Linux guest (which wouldn't slow down the build).
