I recently built gcc, glibc etc on a raspberry pi model B (arm, 32G sd |
| 27 |
card, 512M ram, 1G swap) |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Used swap, ccache, distcc to a VM setup to cross-compile, -j1 and made |
| 30 |
sure it was otherwise lightly loaded. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
For a temp swap if limited by btrfs, FAQ's suggest swap over nfs (I have |
| 33 |
used this at times and it can be flakey/hard to get to work consistently |
| 34 |
- diskless intel atoms) or via a loopback. |
