That'd be great.

I've used uclibc's buildroot to build a softfloat root, including
portage and python, and am able to nfs mount it and chroot into it.

Running emerge always gives me something like this:

[root@hello /]# emerge portage
oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x1d2

Anyway, I look forward to reading your HOWTOs.
