And why are you compiling your software on a low-power embedded |
| 6 |
platform? That's the point where you are doing it wrong. I'll bet power |
| 7 |
consumption with Gentoo is even better because you don't have all |
| 8 |
features enabled. |

If you install OSes compile software for embedded stuff usually you |
| 11 |
should compile your stuff somewhere else. Gentoo even provides a |
| 12 |
framework for it with BINHOST stuff. |
