As far as I know, ARCH is one of those variables that has to be specified |
23 |
in a profile, not in make.conf. A quick solution is to place the |
24 |
|
25 |
ARCH=x86 |
26 |
|
27 |
line into the site-specific override .../etc/portage/profile/make.defaults |
28 |
|

Although in this case your choice of profile may simply be wrong. The |
30 |
embedded profile is the crossdev default that pretty much only has |
31 |
busybox. Choose something like default/linux/x86/13.0 or if you want a lighter |
32 |
libc how about default/linux/uclibc/x86 (or hardened/linux/musl/x86). That |
33 |
should give you a more complete @system set. |

Since you are doing this on an amd64 box which can natively run x86, if |
40 |
you want to achieve the same goal faster, start with a x86 stage3, chroot |
41 |
into it and emerge a couple packages that you want to add, then tar it up |
42 |
and load onto your 32 bit box. If you want to add packages later, emerge |
43 |
them with '-b' in the chroot (on the amd64 box), and then follow |
44 |
|
45 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Binary_package_guide |
46 |
|
47 |
to allow the 32-bit box to install them as binary packages. |
48 |
|

Ofcourse if you want to learn crossdev, then this is a great chance to do |
50 |
so. |
