If you do happen to have a more powerful machine running Gentoo on a compatible architecture[1], you could also try Gentoo binary packages (that is, not -bin, but binary packages made from www-client/firefox and mail-client/thunderbird on that machine, either automatically with FEATURES=buildpkg, or manually using quickpkg or emerge --buildpkg). [1] I guess it should also be possible to cross-compile, but that will require additional steps, with which I am not acquainted. Do you know Seamonkey? If you like it and it works for everything you use Firefox and Thunderbird with, another idea to consider would be replacing Firefox and Thunderbird with Seamonkey Navigator and Seamonkey Mail&News. That way, it would be "just" one massive build instead of two. -- Nuno Silva
