[gentoo-user] crosscompiling...the point of view

[meino.cramer@gmx.de]

Hi,

I am asking, because I found not only one description of somehow
complicated setups to compile a distribution (namely gentoo) for a
platform "A" (Beaglebone TI OMAP4) on that platform with distcc to
speedup things or with emulated chroot environments based on qemu...

I thought it would be the easiest to compile the whole stuff on a host
system "B" with a crosscompilation toolchain...but may be I have
overlooked something important...

So - is there any logical reason, which prevents the process of the 
compilation of a complete distribution/rootfs/boot-mechanism for
a platform "A" on a hostsystem of the platform "B" if the cross
compilation toolchain is already installed on "B" and no emulated
environment is wanted?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
mcc
