What would you suggest as an alternative? I've never done LFS. I'm intrigued by it. We use Debian in an IoT product similar in footprint to a pi. I know Linux

  IF your hardware is supported by NetBSD (to whichever necessary extent and use case) it offers the most advanced build system in my experience. Think of it like the complete LFS, with integrated basic X11 (optional), automated. Either selfhosted from installation, OR crosscompiled even from Microsoft Windows to whatever else is currently supported by it. One single way to operate on diverse systems. Even more advanced than the build system of FreeBSD, by which Gentoos Portage has been inspired. Similar thing for its PKGSRC, which is the package manager for anything not contained in that base system. ( http://pkgsrc.org http://pkgsrc.org / https://pkgsrc.se https://pkgsrc.se ) If you ever experienced that, you realize how big the mindfuck of any Linux is, and wish for being in a parallel universe where something like this would be the basic standard to build upon. Skim the http://netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/ http://netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/ edit: To be clear, this is not the normal mode of operation, you don't have to do this to use it, but it is integrated, so that you can generate install images from which to bootstrap other systems. http://netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/part-compile.html http://netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/part-compile.html
