He wants to have a single prefix, or more realistically, a collection of prefixes for different platforms built from one platform with a single command. i.e. On my Mac I'd have several different prefixes, for brevity say: |
| 10 |
/x86-macos |
| 11 |
/amd64-macos |
| 12 |
/ppc-macos |
| 13 |
/linux-x86_64 |
| 14 |
/windows |
| 15 |
etc. |

Then I could issue a command like: "yootoo gedit" and it would emerge gedit (and all of the dependencies) into /x86-macos (what gentoo-prefix does now). Then it would emerge gedit (and all of the dependencies, which I'd guess are different for different host platforms) for each of the other prefixes (probably using a cross-compiler) so that the resulting binaries could be run on other systems. |

Unless cross-compilers support in portage has improved since the last time I checked (admittedly, a couple of years ago) this is not trivial. |
