We do this kind of thing by using 'packaged-staging':- compile the toolchain once on one computer (e.g. 'bitbake meta-toolchain') - copy the resulting staging dir ( ${PSTAGE_DIR} ) somewhere ( e.g. http://server/pstage ) - Set PSTAGE_MIRROR in your local.conf (e.g. PSTAGE_MIRROR = http://server/pstage/ ) When then building on another computer, pre-built packages will be fetched from PSTAGE_MIRROR and not rebuilt. This will drastically speed up build times.
Be aware though that if those machines are not identical (32/64-bit, different Ubuntu versions, different library versions), this might break silently. So it's safer to pre-build and save your packages once for each machine separately. But then this will only speed up subsequent builds on the same machine.
