I brought this up about a month or so ago, since I used devtools
to compile some linux binaries. I installed linux_dist-gentoo-stage3
(based on the advice I got on the list), did a chroot, installed some
software using gentoo's portage system, and then compiled some code.
It was fairly easy to use, when I compiled on the old linux_base using
the linux_devtools I do remember having to mess with some of the
paths. I haven't had time to test usage from the gentoo dirs, a
a chroot is not real convenient as opposed to running from the
/usr/compat/linux setup, but as stated I haven't had much time to
test usage yet. Just thought I would share my experiences so far.
