Im SO happy right now 344 packages installed and it boots into like 13 tasks 0 threads 1 running (htop) and 40 MB RAM only (debian pi like 140-170MB RAM after boot lol)!! its all fully synced and updated to the lastest gentoo tree! Regards! Well wishes in your Gentoo travels... Thanks so much to NeddySeagoon for his make.conf's I found online to make this working one? Its probably bad lol but its fine I guess? https://github.com/mrturcot/Gentoo-Stuff/blob/master/stuff/rpi3b-make.conf

"emerge-chroot -1 gcc" took like 13 hours using overclocked Ryzen 2700 with make -j12 && RAM tmpfs mount --bind /var/tmp/portage for builds (tmpfs which I have to say is SO fast wow) but i think it was all the lto linking that lengthened GCC compile time, I enabled only on GCC. Also, configuring packages is brutal! haha its the slowest line per line update, seconds apart lol

All in all took me like 3 or 4 days overtime, but so worth it :) currently emerge-chrooting rust... 7 hours in xd

FilthyPitDog,

Well done!
Trying the mainline kernel is still on my TODO list.

The only things I would change in a QEMU chroot are to remove.
Code:
QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS="aarch64 arm x86_64"
QEMU_USER_TARGETS="aarch64 arm"


You have an amd64 qemu-static installed in the chroot. Its what executes the arm64 files. If you build QEMU in the chroot like that, hopefully it will fail.
If were to work, your amd64 qemu-static will be replaced by an arm64 version.

If you have the RAM,
Code:
PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/var/tmp/portage
can be in tmpfs.
Mount it before you chroot. Likewise, repos and distfiles can be shared.

I am using https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-6.1.y for kernel. I did see these https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-kernel/raspberrypi-sources but no version 6 sources available. :)
