To elaborate on this a bit further for informational purposes, this is |
| 8 |
theoretically possible. However, too many packages in portage don't |
| 9 |
take very well to cross-compiling yet. A large chunk of "emerge system" |
| 10 |
would fail, for example. |

Hmm, seriously? I think crossdev builds a mips1 toolchain by default, |
| 17 |
and it works fine. But then, that just means glibc is only optimized |
| 18 |
for mips1. Either way, the machine Jason wants to run stages on here is |
| 19 |
MIPS32, so that would be what he really wants I think. |

P.S. Any reason why openwrt isn't good enough? If you download the |
| 24 |
buildroot source, it cross-compiles everything for you, including a wide |
| 25 |
selection of packages of your choice that are selectable from menus. It |
| 26 |
works quite well, and is really the optimal sort of distro for these |
| 27 |
devices. Gentoo is really intended for machines with bigger nuts. |
