> FreeBSD defines its ABI at the libc level, whereas Linux defines it at the syscall level

Actually, this really does make it more impressive than I'd realized, especially since FreeBSD didn't just shim libc in - I've run an Alpine Linux (musl-based) chroot on FreeBSD and that worked, which it wouldn't have if they just made a glibc-like wrapper. (I think.)
