But then there is the question on how much work it would be to port the
**systemd** implementations to FreeBSD or Hurd, if using and maintaining
those bash re-implementations is futile.

I tried to build systemd-sysusers against the FreeBSD libc, which
obviously is not going to be easy.  But all the Debian arches use glibc
and problems I found where in common, but unused, code and obviously
pretty glibc specific stuff.

Did someone already try to build just those binaries e.g. on Hurd?

PS: Why the hack is alloca in alloca.h on glibc, but stdlib.h on BSD?
PPS: Yes, systemd uses alloca.
