Um, not sure what I misread, but I accept that for a binary distro, all |
| 16 |
packages will have to be compiled under the same "system configuration" so |

we can't possibly use pkgs compiled by the devs; they'd have to be |
| 18 |
recompiled under the same setup (toolchain + all other pkgs as well.) |
