815
In the past there was a push to bring BuildXL to macOS to provide cached and distributed builds to the a number of Microsoft teams. BuildXL moved to .netcore and scrubbed the codebase to add Unix support. The core bxl executable can be cross compiled on Windows to run on macOS. The major component that needed to be rewritten for macOS is the file access monitoring layer. This is what allows BuildXL to provide reliable caching.
