It's a former Chromebox where I flashed Coreboot (mrchromebox version) into it. So it's basically a (mini)PC now.
I'd want to test out the Gentoo binary host on this machine. It's an 2-core amd64 Celeron:
Code:
livecd ~ # lscpu | fgrep Model                                                                                            │
Model name:                         Intel(R) Celeron(R) 2955U @ 1.40GHz                                                   │
BIOS Model name:                    Intel(R) Celeron(R) 2955U @ 1.40GHz  CPU @ 0.0GHz                                     │
Model:                              69


However I'm not certain will the binaries work if I choose to go with llvm | openrc stage3.
Wiki states that the binaries from the official repo are no-multilib, and I think the stage3 I'm about to use is multilib.
Also I wonder if llvm based system can run the binaries (libstdc++ may be a problem?).

I have one or two 32-bit x86 Linux game binaries (linked to glibc), so that's why the multilib. Although, I can live without those. (I should blame the game devs still having 32-bit binaries in... 2020 maybe.)

Using the LLVM profiles, as opposed to just using clang, means you don't need ABI compatibility with regular systems. So, no.

Ok seems I'm blind:
Gentoo Binary Host Quickstart wrote:
Note
When using a hardened, musl, llvm profile, x32, or even an entirely different architecture, these paths are not correct. Corresponding directories exist, but have only the package set found within the stage3.
... so I guess I'll go with the basic openrc desktop profile.

Thanks for reply.
I'm still bit confused... What is a 'no' here? What are you referring as 'regular system'?

If I use llvm profile I don't need to be ABI compatible with these regular systems? It just works? Can I mix in binaries from the gentoo binary host?

I went with (safe) openrc/desktop. I don't want to experiment with this box... with the exception of using binary host.

[X] SOLVED
