Excuse me if I am wrong, but isn't AROS based on Linux? Doesn't that mean it has access to Linux software natively?
You are wrong.
AROS is based on Amiga-OS.
I was sure that was obvious for all.
There is a libc which can provide a bridge to Linux ports, but having direct native Linux executables support needs to have a compatible segloader.
AROS kernel parts from Linux would be dangerous as it will taint the AROS kernel with the GPL nightmare. Having libs, laying outside of kernel is possible anyway.
In this very project, everyone should stay away from Linux sources and use BSD sources insteed.
