If it's about using Gentoo on your O2, you could look for any Linux |
| 7 |
distribution to give you a solid ground and then use gentoo-prefix in |
| 8 |
your daily activities. That would even work if you had IRIX on the box, |
| 9 |
but is most likely equally experimental as having Gentoo on it. |

What might help: Using gentoo-embedded one could emerge a cross |
| 17 |
compilation toolchain on a decent compilation machine of any |
| 18 |
architecture (sys-devel/crossdev). Then you export that compiler using |
| 19 |
sys-devel/distcc and make it available on your slow Gentoo/MIPS box. |
