What level of breakage do you see these days? Are there any common packages which fail? I'm trying to keep things simple and standard between my native generated images and the cross compiled ones. So the qemu-chroot is nice. As per your previous email, it seems like the /usr/armv7-xxx and /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/armv7-xx dirs contain a complete "fanken-compiler" (ie cross compiler) that I could use directly inside the arm chroot. The bits I need to solve are only: - Setting the binaries to use (could use bits of the crossdev-emerge script) - How to insert it into the chroot (my preference is to use portage with "ROOT=/my-chroot emerge crossdev-xxx" since that tracks the files and could be upgraded easily in the future) - Getting required bits of libc from the host into the chroot, probably copy files manually. Could do some horrible emerge thing here... On top of the that it seems straightforward to get binutils and bash to be compiled natively/static and insert that into the chroot. This should get me a chroot with native toolchain, that will crosscompile to armv7a... Need to figure the last steps now Ed W
