if you want<br>
to skip the source build. (What mkroot itself does is
build minimal<br>
boot-to-a-shell-prompt systems for each of those
architectures.)<br>
<br>
I'm also engaging with the Android NDK guys to try to
get that fleshed out a bit<br>
more as a bionic build toolchain.<br>
<br>
I don't have any glibc variants, but in theory there are
debian toolchains for<br>
that? (Sorry, gnu/libc isn't very interesting
anymore...)<br>

I'm vaguely trying to do something like LFS for Android:<br>

rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://landley.net/toybox/<wbr>about.html</a><br>
<br>
But that's a longish-term project aimed at a moving
target...<br>
<br>
My previous project along these lines was a lot closer
to LFS:<br>

<p>Thanks all for your replies.<br>
It does, however, not answer the first question, whether or not
CLFS is still alive or is planning to come alive again.<br>
Due to lack of answers I - for now - assume that neither is the
case. Still, the documents as well as your answers provide some
pointers which I shall incorporate in my current project.</p>
<p>Thanks again and a happy new year!</p>
<p>-- Frans.<br>
