Here's a series of eclass changes I've been working on since August to |
| 2 |
allow Python modules to be cross-compiled. We previously believed this |
| 3 |
to be practically impossible without significant changes upstream and |
| 4 |
in the wider Python ecosystem so getting here feels like quite an |
| 5 |
achievement. While the approach is a little unconventional, it doesn't |
| 6 |
feel overly hacky and the results are quite consistently good. |

These changes should also benefit prefix and I did a full prefix |
| 9 |
bootstrap for the first time this week just to make sure I didn't |
| 10 |
break it. |

A handful of other Python packages that don't quite follow the usual |
| 13 |
mantra have needed fixing up. I haven't included those changes here |
| 14 |
but you can view them on this GitHub pull request. |

Once this is in place, I can finish my long-awaited revamp of my |
| 19 |
cross-boss project that will allow you to cross-compile @system from |
| 20 |
scratch with very little effort. |
