The Valve project to produce a native Linux port of Steam runs into a snag:

gcc portal.a -lalsa -lXext -lX11 -lGL -lm -lsocket -o portal
glados.o: In function `graphics_3d':
portal/glados.c:1542: are you kidding
portal/glados.c:1543: theres no way im linking with that
portal/glados.c:1547: youre only going to release `half life' anyway
portal/glados.c:1550: theyll cancel this project at the last minute
glados.o: In function `defenses':
portal/glados.c:2590: fat chance
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [portal] Error 1
make: *** Deleting file `/usr/lib/libGL.so'

Shortly thereafter, Valve announced: "There’s no Linux version that we’re working on right now."
