The developers of the Gentoo distribution have announced the expansion of the range of ready-made stage files available for download. The publication of stage-archives based on the Musl c-library and assemblies for the ppc64 platform, optimized for POWER9 processors, has begun. Builds with the systemd system manager have been added for all supported platforms, in addition to the previously available builds based on OpenRC. Through the regular download page for the amd64 platform, the delivery of Hardened stage files with SELinux support and the musl library began.
The changes were made possible by the introduction of new build hosts. Builds for amd64, x86, arm (via QEMU), and riscv (via QEMU) architectures are now generated on a server with an 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU and 64 GB of RAM. Builds for ppc, ppc64 and ppc64le / power9le architectures are provided on a server with a 16-core POWER9 CPU and 32 GB of RAM. Arm64 builds have a dedicated server with 80-core Ampere Altra CPU and 256 GB of RAM.
