No, I am Spartacus!
I've toyed with this idea as well, mostly for getting a NetBSD environment
in a Docker container.
Maybe we should pool resources?

Look, I lived through the Gray Davis years. I *need* a UPS.
I never managed to pull it off, but I tried
creating a full live Linux
environment based on musl, clang, Heirloom Toolchest and
OpenBSD/NetBSD sources. The idea was that I wanted to make a "Real
Unix" that happened to have Linux as its kernel. (It also would have
run the CDE as its default desktop.)
I, too, was toying with the idea of creating a NetBSD distribution which
uses the Linux kernel and NetBSD userland.
I very much like the concept of going to /usr/src and typing "make
build" (or "make world" on FreeBSD) and have the
whole base system rebuilt.
I've played with Gentoo Linux which also builds from source, but I found
it too complicated (for me, at least). On the
BSDs it's just Makefiles, and no strange python (or whatever) scripts to
build the system.
Maybe when I'm retired and have plenty of time...

chris
