Fwd: Virtualization options on Lilblue

For a year, Lilblue is my main desktop Linux distro and I would like
to use it as my virtualization HOST system.

VMware is out of question (its binaries are linked against the bloated
and bug-ridden glibc) and VirtualBox too (I only managed to build one
of its dependencies, kbuild, with ugly hacks, see
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506874 ).

The guest systems I intend to run are various versions of Windows,
Gentoo Linux on musl and Gentoo/FreeBSD.

What are my options? KVM? Xen? Something else?

kvm should work. I can try later, but let us know.
