Um, not sure what I misread, but I accept that for a binary distro, all packages will have to be compiled under the same "system configuration" so we can't possibly use pkgs compiled by the devs; they'd have to be recompiled under the same setup (toolchain + all other pkgs as well.) -- [email protected] mailing list
