At university of michigan we did a port of cap to the apollo.  Basically, 
because the libraries are not "just like real unix" because of the neat 
file system, nm doesn't work.   What you should do is start with a generic 
BSD build, then define the NOSENDMSG and NORECVMSG (or something like 
that) so that the cap library can be built.  (Basically sendmsg() et. al. 
never made it into apollo's tcp libraries)  Do a build & everything should 
work-- EXCEPT aufs

Basically because of apollos distrbuted file system's root level called 
"//" instead of "/", aufs will blow up when it tries to assign unique 
directory IDs to all the paths below.  If i can recall, a few simple 
changes to "afpdid.c" did the trick, but i'm not quite sure if that was 
all (we did this over a year ago & we havent looked at it since-- CAP 
seems to have memory leaks or other errors which seems to leave nasty, 
un-killable processes around so we didn't officially support it)
