It features the latest Gentoo tree, with bleeding edge gcc-4.9.2, |
| 14 |
binutils-2.24 and glibc-2.20. Almost all the packages in Gentoo are |
| 15 |
supported, thanks to the hard work of Prefix and ARM teams, and of |
| 16 |
course everybody who contributed to Gentoo. |

Do you want full control of the computers in your pocket? |
| 20 |
Do you want the Gentoo life-style on your smartphones? |
| 21 |
Do you miss the GNU userland on your tablets? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Gentoo on Android is just for you! |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The project also aims to provide necessary tools to facilitate kernel, |
| 26 |
hardware drivers and graphic developments for mobile devices. More |
| 27 |

Gentoo RAP is a variant of Gentoo Prefix which has an independent glibc. |
| 33 |
For Android targets, it installs everything under /data/gentoo by |
| 34 |
default with runtime binaries and scripts tuned to that directory. You |
| 35 |
have full access to Android stack at /system natively. It is a full |
| 36 |
userland but not a chroot. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Enjoy it and have fun! |
