Special notes for cross-hosting a NetBSD build on certain platforms.
Only those platforms which have been tested to complete a "build.sh" run

otherwise set. This can be overridden by setting HOST_SH in the environment.
In addition all hosts must provide the following local tools:
+ gzip
+ gcc
+ g++
+ zlib and headers (this requirement may be dropped in future)
-gzip
+FreeBSD
+=======
-=====
-
-NetBSD:
-
-* _NETBSD_SOURCE is *not* to be defined/pulled in during compat/tools builds.
- compat_defs.h will error out if it finds it defined.
-
-HP-UX:
-
-* zlib must be available.
- This will be fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
+build.sh was recently tested on FreeBSD 13 with the compiler tools installed.
+Linux
=====
-LINUX:
-
-* Tested on RedHat Linux 7.1 (i386).
- Tested on RedHat Linux 7.3 (i686) on 16 Sep 2002. Requires "LANG=C"
- in the environment.
-
-* Tested on Redhat Linux 8.0 (i686) in Fall 2003. Requires no special settings.
-
-* Tested on Redhat ES3 and AS3 in spring of 2004. Requires no special settings.
-
-* The gcc (and libstdc++, if needed) package must be installed, along
- with the typical system development packages (glibc-devel, etc.).
+build.sh has been tested on:
+* Amazon Linux 2 (x86)
+* Debian 10 (x86)
+* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (x86)
+* SUSE Enterprise Server 15 (x86)
+* Ubuntu Server 20.04 (x86)
+
+* The gcc and g++ package must be installed, along with the typical system
+ development packages (glibc-devel, etc.). The g++ package is sometimes
+ called gcc-c++.
* The ncurses-devel package must be installed (for nbinfo).
-* The zlib and zlib-devel packages must be installed. This will be
- fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
-
-=====
+* The zlib and zlib-devel packages must be installed (these are
+ called zlib1g and zlib1g-dev on Debian and Ubuntu Linux)
-MACOS
- Requires a case sensitive filesystem such as UFS
+macOS/Darwin
+============
-* Tested on 10.2.8 with Dec 2002 Developer Tools
- - may require a fix to /usr/bin/join, netbsd's join should work fine
-* Tested on 10.3 with xcode 1.5
- - compiles fine out of the box
+build.sh was recently tested on macOS Big Sur with an APFS filesystem
+and the Xcode command line tools. (Previously, there have been issues
+building on case-insensitive HFS filesystems.)
+HP-UX
=====
-NETBSD (earlier releases):
+* zlib must be available.
-* Tested on NetBSD 1.5.2 (machine-independently).
