Gentoo on handhelds: msg#00027

Subject: Gentoo on handhelds

Hi all,

I'm working on linux port to Palm Tungsten T3 (arm-le) handheld.
Development tasks slowly move from kernel-space to user-space so now
I'm interested in some base distribution/packaging system for the
handheld.

I'm choosing from gentoo-embedded, CRUX and OpenEmbedded. OE is
targeted for handhelds but it has absolutely weird build system
(however it is similar to portage... sometimes). CRUX is optimized for
i686 and has no pre-requisites for cross-compilation but packages are
rather easily compiled inside scratchbox environment. Gentoo... I
haven't tried gentoo yet, but I'm doing to do so.

I want to know the current status of gentoo-embedded. Can I build a
working rootfs based on uclibc using emerge?
