I'm simply trying to offload compiling from my ancient, underpowered
netbook (14 hours to build seamonkey!!!) to my desktop. I'd like to be
able to transparently run "emerge" from the netbook, have the desktop
machine do the grunt work, and install the compiled binaries and
associated /etc/* files on the netbook. This assumes both machines are
connected on my home LAN.
Since you mentioned arm architectures, it's ironic that the wiki
crossdev instructions now point to the embedded cross-compiler site
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/
I've followed the instructions chapter 2 for installing crossdev and
it appears to work. Note that my desktop machine is a 64-bit install...

I'm now reading up on...

...to figure out how to launch it from my netbook.
