One doesn't need to setup cross-compilation in order to generate |
| 7 |
x86 code on amd64 systems: 64-bit amd64 gcc natively supports this, |
| 8 |
just be sure to add -m32 to your {C,CXX,F,FC,LD}FLAGS variables. |

Care should be taken with -march=native or -mtune=native arguments. |
| 11 |
Vanilla distcc doesn't support this. Patch can be taken here[1] or |
| 12 |
distcc from my overlay[2] may be used. |

Another approach will be to use one powerful box to build all |
| 15 |
packages for an older system: either root filesystem may be |
| 16 |
exported via NFS to a powerful host or just copy entire disk image |
| 17 |
to and fro that host; afterwards just setarch && chroot to that |
| 18 |
image / NFS mount and build all packages using modern hardware. |
| 19 |
An old but still useful guide is here[3]. |
