Glad to see Gentoo-openmoko distro

[Previdi Roberto]

Yes you can use gentoo with binary packages, but you loose the great
configurability given by the tuning of the USE flags... i think it's better
if i can manage to crosscompile from my desktop, and then copy the generated
binary on the moko. slower, but more flexible..
