Fact is we don't know. I'd guess that of the packages which are not
explicitely Linux specific, about 30% don't compile (most of them because of

Yes.

You can check the ftp.debian.org bianry archive. (We will provide a more
convenient full list later). More detailed status of a subset is available
through Jeffs status pages (erhm,
http://people.debian.org/~jbailey/something, where something is turtle,
turtle1, turtle2 or so).
