that comes as a big surprise and disappointment. What is the point of =
cross-compiling, then?
How to update a small slow embedded platform?

I tried your suggestion - unfortunately no worky:

cd /usr/src/tools/build;  make DIRPRFX=3Dtools/build/ =
DESTDIR=3D/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp/legacy host-symlinks
Linking host tools into /usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp/legacy/bin
cp: chflags: /usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp/legacy/bin/basename: =
Operation not supported
*** Error code 1

So I will probably need to checkout and compile on the Pi. What are =
typical
build times on a CM3+? Plus I am going to wear down the builtin eMMC =
much faster.

Kind regards and thanks,
Patrick=
