I have spoken with the OpenSUSE guys they dont use qemu-system-arm but
rather qemu-arm and lay out things and build using a hybrid
environment thats also how they build ppc s390 and other arches. the
only build hardware they have is x86. doing full system emulation will
be slower.
Which is exactly what I proposed ... i.e use cross compilers and
really on qemu to run stuff that gets generated and run during build.
But there seems to be a huge oppositions against that in Fedora.
How does Ubuntu build there ARM builds? Native or using cross compilers?
