MachTen was interesting as heck to find. I ran it on a LC recently and it was so slow. I couldn’t work out how to build a linker, but I got a cross compiler (GCC) set your a sun-2 target and gas just worked fine letting me use my Xeon for cross compiling on NFS, and just linking on the Mac.
With only a 68020 it’s just too slow, and with no mmu it’s just too unstable. But the cool factor is awesome.
Sadly my attempt at building gopher didn’t work so well.

I used Mach10 and Later MkLinux as my UNIXy systems while in College before I got my first Sun Workstation in the mid ’90’s.
Interestingly enough. MkLinux was actually ported to Old World PowerMacs by Apple and HP. I think they also made.a version PCs too.
And Mach10 was interesting. Different. I also had Minix for the Mac, it worked much the same, as an app that sat onto of MacOS.
