Replying to [comment:7 mmadia]:
> Just to make sure, can all references to libHaikuCompat /
libhaikucompat_build.a be removed? If i understand correctly, that will
remove BeOS as a supported build platform.
Not really. Or actually yes (together with the support for older Haiku
versions), but that support would (or could) be re-added in the
libroot_build implementation in a more generic way. Linux and FreeBSD are
even less Haiku compatible and still we will support them. Essentially the
`headers/build` headers and the lib*_build libraries will provide a
complete host abstraction layer. That is code written for Haiku can be
built without changes using those headers and libraries. The library
implementations in turn do the heavy lifting of mapping the functionality
to implement to host platform functionality. Though in many cases the
latter will just be portable POSIX functionality.
