Have you tried exporting your packages directory over NFS to a chroot on another box? I do this for my little Atom box and it works a treat; I know that at some others here do the same. You just have to make sure that /etc/portage/... files are identical between the two machines - apart from those few things you actually want to differ, like MAKEOPTS and buildpkg. Before discovering this method I tried distcc and cross-compiling and had nothing but pain, but the nfs-packages method is straightforward and easily understood. -- Rgds Peter.
