It's not like it compiles at all at the moment, some more patches are necessary at least on my end, that I can't push out yet, because they are either too hacky, or because I don't understand yet what's the best solution. Biggest issue is the -Wl,--version-script used in the makefiles. Mike gave me a hint here [1], but the solution hasn't been clear to me as of yet. In conclusion, I don't think Linux tailored improvements should be held back for the sake of portability at this moment, as one won't come far very far in building anyway.
