Like even compiling a kernel for macOS 12 or 13 on macOS 26 is usually a dead end without a lot of hacking the build system and code to cooperate, not to mention the endless barrel of dependencies.
Am I the best non-Apple-employee developer to ever get multiple XNU versions running myself without scripts or online guides and even get it building on modern systems?
Could I open up a path to compilation on other POSIX/UNIX OSes?

@mrmasterkeyboard@mastodon.social iirc I got XNU building for fun once with only minor references to an out of date article, but I hit a wall trying to get the KernelCaches rebuilt or something(idk this was a year ago I don't remember it too well)

Right, so the kernel just panics on boot... it's some multiple inheritance thing. I'm trying to fix it.
