We should stick to what Debian provides in binary form and make the best
out of that.
Tuning compilation processes for small devices certainly is relevant for
projects like FreedomBox, but is not FreedomBox: We deliberately chose
to use not-too-small hardware in order to not be stalled by the huge(!)
tasks of (re)engineering a software stack.
We have enough of a challenge just putting together existing pieces :-)
If interested in such tasks I encourage you to get in touch with
toolchain developers at Debian itself and Emdebian: Improvements applied
there will reach FreedomBox when proven to be reliable.
Regards,
- Jonas
