Hello Jonas! |

there is probably a better way to do this, but it should be possible to |

So far this seems to me to be the most reasonable way. I would like to stick |
| 12 |
to the gentoo way of doing cross compilation, even if it encounters some |
| 13 |
minor hacks. I'll try it, thanks for pointing me there. |

Nope, but for quite a while I'm considering to put up some blog (or |
| 20 |
something on google sites)... |

In fact only embedded gentoo |
| 29 |
documentation<http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/>and trial |
| 30 |
and error method. I succeeded with |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
crossdev --b 2.21.1 --g 4.5.3 --l 2.11.3 --k 2.6.36 -t |
| 33 |
arm-none-linux-gnueabi |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
which compiled succesfully and created toolchain that can create binaries |
| 36 |
compatible with my Netgear Stora. So far I haven't tried emerged packages as |
| 37 |
I am not sure if they will run unless built statically, but sample C program |
| 38 |
compiled with cross compiler runs ok. |

I agree, I hope I can make some workaround in a short time for that. Using |
| 48 |
my own overlay seems to be the most appropriate way, I'll write back as soon |
| 49 |
as I have working ebuild limited to arm architecture... |
