I didn’t have a very hard time kernels, but building the gnu toolchain is an absolute disaster

  It indeed is a journey for the most patient of us. Or, at least, was about 8 years ago, when I needed to build gcc for the Cortex M3 target. I guess not much has changed since then, and one still has a great opportunity to learn what mpfr, gmp and the rest of scary words mean, before either giving up or pushing through that crap. It's like eating super hot peppers: first one suffers, then enjoys the knowledge that they are a tough one. And maybe an endorphin rush, if they have suffered intensely enough.

    Definitely useful knowledge, but it sucks that’s what the world runs on in my opinion. It really does just need to be built from the ground up again
