If you do happen to have a more powerful machine running Gentoo on a |
| 7 |
compatible architecture[1], you could also try Gentoo binary packages |
| 8 |
(that is, not -bin, but binary packages made from www-client/firefox and |
| 9 |
mail-client/thunderbird on that machine, either automatically with |
| 10 |
FEATURES=buildpkg, or manually using quickpkg or emerge --buildpkg). |

[1] I guess it should also be possible to cross-compile, but that will |
| 13 |
require additional steps, with which I am not acquainted. |

Do you know Seamonkey? If you like it and it works for everything you |
| 16 |
use Firefox and Thunderbird with, another idea to consider would be |
| 17 |
replacing Firefox and Thunderbird with Seamonkey Navigator and Seamonkey |
| 18 |
Mail&News. That way, it would be "just" one massive build instead of |
| 19 |
two. |
