What would be an appropriate build machine for compiling binaries for a |
| 24 |
vast range of sub-architectures, including different CHOSTs? I've read |
| 25 |
that catalyst "supports the ability to build x86 architecture stages on |
| 26 |
amd64 systems." [1] Not strictly speaking using catalyst to accomplish |
| 27 |
this in anyway, but I don't see why we can't perform the same actions |
| 28 |
inside a chroot. |

Is cross compiling a Pentium3 environment inside a chroot on an Opteron |
| 31 |
safe? What about a 486? Is this logic [2] correct? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Granted, I'm strictly speaking of x86 based architectures here, and not |
| 34 |
asking if catalyst is the way to go but the manual chroot method |
| 35 |
mentioned. What about building in 32bit chroots on a 64bit systems, |
| 36 |
should this be like for like? |
