i have just discovered how powerful a program Portage is, and would like to be able to use it on my spare empeg just for the hell of it. would it be possible to cross-compile all of the bootstrap/stage1 apps, chroot, then just let emerge do its thing afterwards? mebbe 2-3 weeks (or months) later, i'll have up to date arm-compiled versions of all the apps, then tar it up for a stage3 tarball for the rest of you guys? i think using the hijack kernel would be ok (even though reiserfs or ext3 would be advantageous)... only requirement that im not sure the kernel right now will comply with is "Virtual memory file system support (former shm fs)".

what do you guys think?
