How real this concern is for lfs? I mean, one of the claims about Linux/GNU OS is that it requires very much less resources such that even old computers can be made useful again rather than being obsoleted. Also, isn't Debian ported to RaspberryPi, where the system can be compiled on the target itself using GCC toolchain with a lot less resources?
