It's been awhile since I played with this specifically. There were
several different ways. One is explained
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/cross-development.xml
Another was using Overlays to do basically the same thing. You can use
this to build programs that are easy to put into the NFS (one of the
easier setups IMO)
The other option would be to setup a Gentoo cross compiler to use with
distcc then to compile things from the Dreamcast but offloading the
actual compiling to another system. When I did this I didn't have the
Dreamcast doing any compiling but rather offloading all compiling to my
desktop.
