11 How is this an issue for multilib-portage? It only requires a toolchain able to build for the target
12 and the details in environment (like possible targets and needed additional flags for each target).
13 Thinking about the issues when starting with a new target, it might be a good idea to have the basic
14 system (stage3) for the multilib profile to contain files for all targets, but only enable the
15 default ABI. So when a user wants some other targets, he already has a base system, else he can just
16 reinstall the base system and drop the unused files with this step.
