CHOST was set to 32 bit so I got 32 bit binaries, but full use of the 64 bits for compiling. > > Oh, and you don't need a package server, just export PKGDIR via NFS > > and mount it on the netbook. > > Or, if you can't be bothered with the extra work to set up NFS, copy > the contents of the PKGDIR from the chroot'ed system to the Atom after > you finished building all the chroot'ed binary packages, then emerge > world in the Atom.
