How do you guys build stage3 tarballs?

[RayDude]

I'd like to build myself an "armv7l ARMv7 Processor rev 0 (v7l)" stage 3 tarball for a work project.

Are there tools to accomplish that in Gentoo? If so, where can I find them?

(I'm trying to avoid yocto as it won't build on my gentoo because gentoo is too new.)

I keep googling and all I find are "how to install from stage3," which is not what I'm looking for.

Thanks.

RayDude,

You can do it with catalyst, which is have all Gentoo binary releases are made.
The DVD, stages *isos ...

Or you can set up your crossdev toolchain and cross compile away into your armv7l target root.
That's getting easier but some build systems are not cross compile aware, so need to be coaxed. Others are cross compile hostile, in that they build code fol the target CPU then try to run it on the host during the course of the build.

If you want to do it on a regular basis, use catalyst. For a one off, I would use a crossdev toolchain.
Crossdev has qemu-static emulation support now too.
