Thanks for the replies.
I thought the Live CD was a bad idea until I realised it can still be
booted under QEMU for non x86 users (Live CDs can be created for other
platforms - have to pick one otherwise it'd be a nightmare). The
tradeoff would be speed for x86 users vs ease of image maintenance and
build environment precision (host processor). There is an appealing
match between the desired uniformity of build environment and QEMU's aim
to uniformly emulate different platforms regardless of host. It could
also be a good test of QEMU itself in the same way GCC self compiles.
Cross compile to Windows from Linux is an unknown quantity to me - has
anyone tried it yet with QEMU?
Depending on how it's used this could either be a two edged sword or a
virtuous circle - headlines of "Convenient Build Environment demands
massive investment of time to keep functional" or "Convenient Build
Environment helps find QEMU inconsistencies and vice versa". Something
like that.
Cheers,
Tim
