Thanks guys for all your advices! I will try the methods proposed by
you guys and let you know once I have new results.
Right now, my way (install kernel and userland together) works (It
takes kernel and libc updates and generate expected results.)  This is
the updated list (much shorter than before) that I need to contribute
to. I have make an annotation for each feature. (freebsd) means
freebsd implements it, but we did not. (linux) means freebsd and
netbsd do not implement, but linux implements.

timers:
   _SC_CPUTIME  (freebsd)
   _SC_THREAD_CPUTIME (freebsd)
   _SC_DELAYTIMER_MAX (freebsd)

pthreads:
   PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT  (freebsd)
   PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE   (freebsd)
   PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT  (freebsd)
   PTHREAD_STACK_MIN  (freebsd)
   pthread_barrierattr_getpshared  (freebsd)
   pthread_barrierattr_setpshared  (freebsd)
   pthread_mutexattr_setpshared  (freebsd)
   pthread_mutexattr_getpshared  (freebsd)
   pthread_condattr_setpshared (freebsd)
   pthread_condattr_getpshared (freebsd)
   pthread_condattr_getclock (freebsd)
   pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling  (freebsd)
   pthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling  (freebsd)
   pthread_mutexattr_getprotocol (freebsd)
   pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol  (freebsd)
   pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared (freebsd)
   pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared  (freebsd)
   pthread_mutex_getprioceiling  (freebsd)
   pthread_mutex_timedlock (freebsd)

scheduler:
    SCHED_SPORADIC (linux)

signals:
    SIGPOLL (freebsd)
    SIGRTMIN (provided, but need to expose to userland)
    SIGRTMAX (provided, but need to expose to userland)
    _SC_REALTIME_SIGNALS (freebsd)
    _SC_SIGQUEUE_MAX  (freebsd)
    bsd_signal (linux)

mmap:
    POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE  (linux)
    POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE_CONTIG (linux)
    POSIX_TYPED_MEM_MAP_ALLOCATABLE (linux)
    struct posix_typed_mem_info (linux)
    posix_mem_offset (linux)
    posix_typed_mem_get_info (linux)
    posix_typed_mem_open (linux)

semaphore
    _SC_SEM_NSEMS_MAX  (freebsd)
