apache is a must-have... unfortunately.
i can look into it.
berkeley db and php are working so far.

Gtk+2, pango, cairo work without patches, i didnt test Qt, Webkit, Gtk+3.

would be nice if that compiled... maybe i'll look at it later.

i built clang half a year ago, it required quite a lot of patches tho.
since that was a SVN version, i didnt collect the patches into a
sabotage package.
i guess i'll wait for the next release to come out, or apply the calloc
bugfix manually to 3.2.
gdb and strace are full of horrible ifdef orgies and glibc-assuming
code, and still need a ton of patches.
need to look into the strace git to see if my patches were accepted...

the X stuff requires knowing a lot of stuff and tricks about it, which i
don't.
i still hope someone originating from the suckless or arch linux
communities, (ppl that seem to love to play around with exotic window
managers etc..)
tackles this.
maybe someone could follow the LFS recipes and try to make it work ?

well, sabotage is more or less based on LFS, so most things in there
should build, except some dark X11 corners that sabotage hasnt touched yet.

the major remaining issue is the missing ifaddr.h functionality.
once that is patched out, qemu builds OOB with musl-git on x86_64 and ARM.
i guess for PPC and others we need to add some REG_XY values to signal.h
to make it happy.

alsa seems to work, however there are some really nasty patches needed,
i.e. the one that hardcodes the mutex initializer:
sed -i
's@...READ_RECURSIVE_MUTEX_INITIALIZER_NP@...1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}}}@'
src/conf.c
sdl works as well, i haven't tested any video stuff though.
