    Hey Sergey!

    overrided parameters. Recently I saw similar problem in Yocto Linux. The bitbake selected 10 parallel jobs by default, for some unknown reason, while host is 4-kernel CPU with 8 logical processors.

    I bet that went over similar to my situation! ;)

    With Gentoo itself, "MAKEOPTS=-j1" should help with that, with a

    If you have "-pipe" in your compile options, remove that.

    Well, a couple of options. Get a VM with more memory. Check out
    lowendbox.com and find good deals, usually around US holidays but
    you'll find them at other times.

    Second, setup a VM locally that's identical to your VM and compile on
    that and use rsync to keep them in step.

    +1 more payment to linode.com then

    If you have "-pipe" in your compile options, remove that.

    yes i had forget to remove it

    with binhost, just select a gcc with what use flag can use the precompiled gcc, i just missed nls to let portage use a binhost install

    i have just upgrade to 4GB ram in linode an compiled gcc from source, and after this downgraded to nano 1GB again

    i hope to learn make my own binhost at home, so all my servers on the internet could just take the most from local compiled binhost, use one of the already maked binhost have nearly never same use flags :)

    to make this stable i need to assample same use flags as my server have

    my asus pn53 will do the homework for me with this

    It's pretty trivial to setup your own repo but each distro is different. Just tells Gemini you want help setting up a repo for your OS and it'll set you through it. I did this for an Arch DOSEMU2 repo I'm working on though you could always use claude code to do the legwork for you, but that way you don't tend to learn as you go.

    repo is not a binhost

    i have a small local repo where i still miss to redo the binkd, and all husky from github, stated building husky from cvs, shourtly after sf.net stopped cvs updates

    so i have to make the git repo for husky, if not existing yet

    I'm working on though you could always use claude code to do the
    legwork for you, but that way you don't tend to learn as you go.

    quickpkg "*"

    saves all build packages to it can be rsync from another host to be installed with

    emerge --usepkgonly "*"

    or replace "*" with a specifik atom package

    Another option might be to install distcc to use a more powerful machine for compilation.

    repo is not a binhost

    It's a repository of binary files. Hence, it's a repo. While a "repo" can store code and scripts and a "binhost" doesn't - it's still a similar function. You're using it as a repository for binary files. In fact, remember that bit where I said it's easy to setup a repo? Setting up a repo for a binhost is even easier because there are no manifests, no install scripts, no metadata, no dependency mapping.
