1 First of all I'm sorry to admit sys-devel/uclibc-buildroot is not ready for
2 anything but very experimental work. It is failing in a lot of ways and the
3 only reason its in the portage tree is for some very brave souls to attempt
4 to move this into a usable ebuild.

6 Having said that the rest of your email is a bit more feasable. As you see
7 from the next email, "embedded extensions for catalyst", there is the
8 potential for embedded profiles to be installed. How this will work for a
9 cross compiler I assume is with some trick path setting. Portage doesn't
10 support cross compling yet however it is planned.

12 My best approach for you at the moment would be grab a livecd and boot your
13 i586. Set the right cflags and the profile (/etc/make.profile symlink
14 to ../usr/portage/profiles/embedded). Grab another computer or two and set
15 them up as distcc computers (RUNNING THE SAME VERSION OF GCC as the i585).
16 and follow through the setup of a normal installation.

18 (Please correct the above anyone with a better/more detailed suggestion).
