[gentoo-user] emerge'ing package on one pc for another pc

[Aaron Walker]

I know I have read about this before on this list, but I didn't see any 
archives on the gentoo site to try to search (unless I just missed it).

I am trying to emerge a package on my fast desktop machine and then 
install it on my mail server (which would take hours if I tried to 
emerge it there).

For example, I am trying to emerge the latest gcc for my mail server (a 
P-MMX 233).

I think I know how to do it, I just wanted to check with the list to 
make sure before I attempted it.

Is the following correct?

On desktop box:
# export CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"
# export CFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=pentium-mmx -funroll-loops -pipe"
# emerge -B gcc
The emerge man page says it creates the package in PKGDIR/All
so I would just copy the package to the mail server's PKGDIR then run 
emerge -K gcc?

Thanks,
Aaron
