Well, it's got a gentoo install that has to build it's own updates, including the system compiler, as well as crossgcc-i386. I have to leave it to run for quite a while to do updates or build a new first of crossgcc-i386 on it. It's some pretty tough hardware though, it manages to handle it just fine, even though it is _really_ old for computer hardware at this point. It would probably be a lot faster if I could get a better cpu (w/ proper voltage handling) and the proper ram for it. I do have an ssd attached via a pci sata adapter (which is a bottleneck), but didn't really notice much of an improvement. I guess some people would use (like?) a system like it for retro gaming/computing, but I've never really found a use for it besides testing coreboot on it. >> It looks like it uses the system linker though (or something similiar, >> I don't remember exactly), at least according to the executable path >> it shows in the build log.

Thankfully, I misunderstood what I was seeing in the logs, it was just while it was building tools that it was using the system toolchain. But, it was using LTO settings for them, which I wasn't expecting. I was assuming it would only use them for actually building the rom, not the utils, but I guess I don't see why not. >> It still looks like it needs more test reports yet, though I guess I'm >> not helping either by not commenting on gerrit. > > Yes, it needs more test reports.
