flx	About the stability issue. What about cross compilation?	21:44:12
Tristan Ross	Cross is fine	21:44:24
Tristan Ross	You just need something like Ampere or Epyc to do it	21:44:37
Alex	Assuming that the package works in cross anyway. Emulated is also fine, but there may still be a few bugs in QEMU's RISC-V implementation. Just a few months ago, someone found a build error only reproducible on emulated RISC-V.	21:45:31
flx	What that be a reasonable option for the NixOS project to do?	21:46:40
Alex	Cross is impractical as soon as you try customising anything too, since that won't be in cache. (I don't see how you could do "cross pkgs, native modules/configs" for a NixOS build.)	21:47:44
