Hello,

So apparently I am single-handedly attempting to stabilize arm64 (at
least, it feels that way). Per the "Gentoo on Alternative
Architectures" subforum
(https://forums.gentoo.org/viewforum-f-32.html) two users have gotten
almost everything working, in some cases having to resort to building
packages not in @system on-device. Ideally I want to be able to build
every package I make use of from my desktop but in some cases this
will involve bug reports to the projects to see if they will change
their build process.

However it's gotten to the point where not even building on-device
works. I'm experiencing breakage in a lot of core packages that may or
may not be related to portage. What is the best way to ask for help?
The users on the forums and IRC do not seem to really know how to go
about solving some of the problems or do not have the time, and I'm
not sure it's polite to open up a bunch of bug reports on
https://bugs.gentoo.org. What seems to complicate this is solving some
of the issues looks like it will take knowledge only the developers of
the corresponding software have.
