Well, it means they felt the need to support Linux executables on non-Linux kernels, and that the Linux kernel ABI turned out to be too big and too fast a moving target to manage the feat.
- saagarjha 7y agoThe Linux ABI is actually quite small and quite well-defined. Perhaps the most so out of all common kernel interfaces today.
- cryptonector 7y agoIt is most certainly not small. Besides the system calls, the ioctls, and the fcntls, including all the various driver ioctls, there's also /proc. /proc is quite large an interface.
- saagarjha 7y agoIt is, but you can get quite far with emulating only parts of it.
- cryptonector 7y agoYes, but not enough to make a business of it.
