FreeBSD and DragonFly BSD have diverged quite a lot.
To run freeBSD-6 binaries on DF you would need some
kind of ABI layer, similar to the linux ABI. It is
definitely non-trivial, because there are some major
infrastructural differences.
Could you explain, at least generally, what are those major differences?
My layman view of them is different numbers of syscalls (immediately
resulting in bus error) and, possibly, different expectations of
thread infrastructure. But you say there is something else?
