Way back when I did https://landley.net/aboriginal/about.html and these days I'm doing a much smaller/simpler one at https://github.com/landley/mkroot but my end result is still "Build Linux From Scratch natively under QEMU on each target, with distcc calling out to the cross compiler so it's less slow". > But whether a non-embedded Pi build makes general sense (rather > than "because you can") I have no idea.

Hi, I've spent the past 5 years slowly turning Android into a self hosting development environment: http://youtu.be/SGmtP5Lg_t0 https://landley.net/toybox/about.html It's slower than I like, but progressing reasonably well: https://twitter.com/landley/status/1064582061464449026 > But like all replies on forums, it might be mistaken.

But hey, hacking on toolchains is always fun (for painful > values of fun). I believe armv7a is basically "normal" armv7, armv7r is nommu, and armv7m is cortex-m only _and_ nommu. (The "l" in armv7l stands for little endian. There are big endian arm systems but they're about as common as being albino.) Long ago I tried to keep track of this: http://landley.net/aboriginal/architectures.html#arm But I've been busy with other things recently...
