Yup, the TRB page was just a copy/paste of the mod6's HTML, meant only to serve as a placeholder (though I guess it's been serving as that for quite a while now). My plan is still to produce an updated version with more detail for those completely new to TRB and V. I appreciate the notes on the cleaned up v.pl and TRB system-based compiler. I will test those out and include them in the guide.

I actually did test out JFW's new TRB build system when I got stuck during the rotor install on my box. Unfortunately it didn't work for me at the time (and I forget where it barfed), but if you say it requires a musl environment then that was most likely it. I'm going to work on another box soon though (musl this time) and will try it again on that one.

Good to hear from you. Not sure if you've seen any of the talk around Pest but there's now a proto-network running and getting some use. It's a different atmosphere from the old days but most seem to be staying productive and putting out interesting projects nonetheless. Let me know if you want to peer with my station to try it out sometime.

I was reading the site and noticed that while the trb page is pretty much a copy of the foundation's how to, it doesn't capture the whole picture as mod6 had either already resigned or was on the way out when the code below was released.

Ada isn't a hard requirement for keccak V since JFW's cleaned up v.pl and made it work with keksum.

Also, the whole buildroot dance isn't a hard requirement either since JFW's system compiler patch/. Granted, you'd still want a musl-static environment, which Gales Linux is. I've only tested/used the system compiler patch there.
