At the moment i emerge packages on the freerunner because of the bad crosscompile support of most ebuilds. I installed distcc on the desktop p= c to help during compilation. But the big problem is the configure script, it takes ages to complete. Someone came up with the idea to emerge the whole stuff in a qemu-freerunner. Does anyone already tried this? I wonder if it is faster than on the freerunner itself.
