Nixos has it easier here because they don't require packages to be "installed" before building code against them. For Gentoo, none of their build scripts (ebuilds) are written to support that. It's plausible that they might change the embuild machinery so that this kind of build (against non-installed packages) could work, but it would need investigation and might be a difficult lift to get it working for all packages. "treat it as a cross compilation scenario" is essentially what the post discusses when they mention "use a different CHOST". A CHOST is a unique name identifying a system configuration, like "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" (etc). Gentoo treats building for different CHOSTs as cross compiling. |
