How do I run that on something that isn't Linux?
The Mac OS X portability story is to run a Linux virtual machine (!).
How is this a sane model when compared to building applications as a self-contained entity?

I can cross-compile a target for (Mac OS X, Linux, Windows, FreeBSD) and ship it as a self-contained application that runs on any of those systems?
