After installing the satisfiable dependencies, use `dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -d` to ignore SELinux and libc6-dev dependencies. It is unclear whether it also does work. The testsuite (run manually) does *FAIL* on all tests, which is due to the prelinker doing something to the copied `ld.so.1` so that it faults on every invocation. This does not happen on GNU/Linux. Not much in the prelinker is Linux-specific. `src/get.c`'s `is_ldso_soname` should already cover our `ld.so.1` case (and what about `ld.so`?). At the end of `src/arch-i386.c`, `.dynamic_linker` has to be set properly. And, in that file there are some Linux process VM constants, of which `REG2S` and `REG2E` are the only relevant in the `!exec_shield` case. Probably these need to be adjusted. What else?
