Reading https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Binary_package_guide still leaves me uncertain. I have an ancient 32-bit Atom netbook. I've installed uclibc-ng Gentoo on it. Building big packages on it is a pain. I can do an identical install in a QEMU VM, and distcc into it. But that doesn't catch all compiling work.
What I'd like to do is build binaries in a chroot on my desktop, assuming a 32-bit uclibc-ng chroot on a 64-bit glibc host is possible. Because the cpus are different, I would need to use different CFLAGS (and CXXFLAGS) variables for when the host updates its own files, versus when it builds files for the netbook. Finally, is it possible for the client (the netbook) to notify the host that it needs certain packages built? I plan to run with "--getbinpkgonly" on the netbook. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
