I don't think so. OpenBSD wrote patches that made X11 much more secure with only
the parts needing root privileges retaining them. They sent them to X11 and they
were ignored (similar happened with tcpdump which is much more secure on OpenBSD
though in that case they atleast looked at the patches and responded with
concerns about performance). I guess they decided to make the build system more
OpenBSD friendly as there wasn't any benefit coming from X11 and it was a bit of
a pain. Apparently it uses BSD make though usually that is okay I think whereas
going the other way can be more or a problem. If there is a Linux Hyperbola
build then they would have useful experience.
