It would be better to make >crosscompile w/ target freebsd I think. Indeed, I thought about cross-compiling. It has some disadvantages, however. I cannot use the Intel compiler, so the engine will be a bit slower. I neither can use profile guided optimization with Gcc. But more severe, the setup of a cross compiler environment is not exactly that easy. I think, I need header files from freebsd, and possible also libraries (Gcc configuration alone seems easy. But for the first time for Gcc with my Linux distribution I even needed some hacking in a makefile for the normal configuration with gcc 3.x. With a cross compiling environment, one would not expect less problems). Anyway, I will consider this path. Probably I will buy a new HD this week. I am thinking of installing freebsd. Does it run from the second IDE HD? Is it bootable from there? Do you have an URL for "fast" download and installation (I have ADSL connection to the internet with typically 90 kB/s download speed).
