IMO, it should be this simple, but in my experience it isn't. Having |
| 7 |
said that, I tried it almost a year ago so things may have improved |
| 8 |
since then. |

There are circular dependencies for the low-level system packages which |
| 11 |
have to be fixed using the "bootstrap" and "build" use flags. I can't |
| 12 |
remember the specifics. |

Personally I'd like to be able to have an empty directory, create the |
| 15 |
configuration (make.conf, make.profile, /etc/portage etc) and do a |
| 16 |
"ROOT=xxxx emerge system". It would be even slicker if the configuration |
| 17 |
could specify an arm target and it automagically cross-compiled |
| 18 |
everything. |

Please post the results of your experiments, I'm very interested to see |
| 22 |
how far this has progressed in the last year. |
