Quake III bounty: we have a winner

I use crosstool-ng to do the heavy lifting for me. [0] But lately I've been trying out musl-cross to get nice, self-contained static binaries. [1]

Crosstool-ng is nice, but if you have even a mildly out of the ordinary arch/libc/kernel version/etc combination it is still a massive pain in the ass. Typically I'd rather build the kernel on device overnight instead of spend manhours getting crosstool-ng to work as I want so that I can build on beefy hardware.

It tends to only be worth it if you are going to be using it more than a few times.

Wouldn't an emulator actually be faster on high-end hardware? Then you can run native tools at much faster than Pi execution speed, right?
