I recently learned that SFU (3.5, at least) is actually a Windows "subsystem," which supposedly should mean that it is not a compatibility layer like cygwin implemented on top of the Windows API. Could be fun, I definitely will give it a whorl presently...
I attempted a port of WINE to SFU a while back and it should work as well as the Cygwin port would once we get Get/SetThreadContext supported implemented for the Cygwin case. There were some issues I had at the time getting configure running with ksh and then with conflicing types in msvcrt. All in all there were no major showstoppers except the same problems as the Cygwin port which is time.......
Thanks Steven
PS. OpenNT the first incarnation of SFU/Interix was based on Cygwin.
