As of September it's now possible to build a functioning buildworld and buildkernel environment from macOS and Linux hosts. This is done due to some CI tools only supporting Linux/macOS and wanting to use them for constructing the FreeBSD base system and was sponsored by DARPA.
I'm not sure what that means. Why couldn't freeBSD be built on linux?
I figured it out, my mistake was assuming freebsd was just another linux clone.
