Yes filc as abi makes most sense. Do note that while fil-c seems to have pretty good source compatibility some stuff still require patches (like python!)


I don't know how it's going on the nixpkgs side, but my impression from Alpine is that it's pretty normal to carry some patches for any ABI/platform that isn't GNU.


Yep, you can look around in Nixpkgs and see a bunch of conditionally applied patches based on target platform.

My Fil-C flake already includes like 50 different patches extracted from the upstream port catalogue!
