>>> imagine trying to compile all your packages from scratch on a system

used to be the norm back in the unix days. finding exact pre-compiled binaries for your exact arch/OS combo was like finding a pot 'o gold ;)

am also amazed at how well gba emulators run on older devices!

You just reminded me of this site I used to use for Sparc/Solaris binaries:

https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/packages/solaris/sparc/

I’m sure it’s been 15 years since I’ve even thought about it.
