Hello, |
| 9 |
I would even go one step farther and say it is VERY difficult to provide |
| 10 |
such a setup with host tools. For example, can one guarantee that every |
| 11 |
host that someone uses has bash-3.2 or greater? Half of my systems don't. |
| 12 |
So, I would argue that you should have more tools in the target prefix |
| 13 |
rather than less from a supportability standpoint (where support is coming |
| 14 |
from you ;) ). It goes without saying that the Gentoo Prefix team is never |
| 15 |
able to support this due to all the variables. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
With that being said, please first build up a Gentoo Prefix environment |
| 18 |
like it was intended and then try to replicate it with host tools. You will |
| 19 |
need the experience of knowing how it is suppose to work first and |
| 20 |
foremost. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Good luck, |
| 23 |
