   I've come across this issue here trying to find a way to make `PropertyListDecoder` available on Linux.

   It turns out that given your pointer above this was quite easy. I took the file you linked to and added

   ```

   import Foundation

   extension DecodingError {

   internal static func \_typeMismatch(at path: \[CodingKey\], expectation: Any.Type, reality: Any) -\> DecodingError {
   
       let description = "Expected to decode (expectation) but found (type(of: reality)) instead."
   
       return .typeMismatch(expectation, Context(codingPath: path, debugDescription: description))
   
   }
   

   }

   let kCFBooleanTrue = NSNumber(booleanLiteral: true)

   let kCFBooleanFalse = NSNumber(booleanLiteral: false)

   ```

   to fix a couple of missing declarations. This builds and runs fine on Linux with swift-4.2 (and probably earlier, I didn't test).

   So I suppose that proves that this should be straightforward to add 🙂

   I'd be happy to put in some time to open an MR for this but not having build swift or the stdlib I'm not really sure where to start.

   @millenomi it looks like the implementation for this is already in the overlay, could we copy it into s-c-f?
