Building a 64bit kernel with 32bit userspace should be pretty |
| 9 |
straightforward with crossdev (not meaningfully different from building an |
| 10 |
ARM kernel on an x86 host). Building a 64bit userspace while running a |
| 11 |
32bit userspace is a bit trickier. There's some support for building a new |
| 12 |
system with ROOT=/target, but not everything would build like that the |
| 13 |
last time I tried (building for ARM on x86). |
