gentoo binpkgs are a lifesaver, I don't have to redo the 6+ hours of compiling all over again

You seen to start getting the whole point of Gentoo… or rather lack of it 😏
Good start! 🥂
@m0xee@social.librem.one I was actually talking about offloading my builds to the server

You mean building on one of your machines and using it as source of binaries for all others?
That makes sense, unless you have different USE flags and use different optimisations — quite often the case. Wasn't there a way to use something like distcc to avoid building on the target machine and offload it to the most performant one you have? Coupled with ccache you can avoid the most part of "compiling it again".

Besides if settling for the lowest common denominator CFLAGS is okay with you, what is even the point in Gentoo? You might as well use any binary distro — if you want some particular package highly optimised (or built with different configure parameters), even Debian provides you with tools to rebuild any package with customisations. Sure, it won't turn systemd-based distro into systemd-free one, but there are easier ways to solve that too than resorting to Gentoo 🤷
