Dear All,
I currently have a fairly minimal Gentoo install in a chroot, on my ARM-based Android 'phone. The reason it's fairly minimal is that compiling additional packages is very slow.
Hence, I've decided to replace the Gentoo install with a binary distro. I've got debootstrap installed under Gentoo, and am ready to go - but I'm a little confused as to what architecture I need to tell debootstrap to install for, since as I understand it, not all ARM binaries will run on all variants of ARM processor. Can anyone advise, please?
The specific processor is a Qualcomm MSM7200A, and the compiler options I use in Gentoo are:
CFLAGS="-march=armv6 -mtune=arm1136j-s -mfloat-abi=soft -O0"
(the -O0 was a vain attempt to reduce compilation times to a manageable level.)
