I use OE on a gentoo box. This morning i updated the system, and the new 
linux-headers package removed /usr/include/asm/page.h. So when building my 
angstrom image it failed with perl asking to include that file. This problem 
was discussed on the gentoo bug and after applying a simple workaround i was 
able to emerge perl on the gentoo box and perl native on OE.
After a while the oe build stopped on esound, this was caused by a malfunction 
of /usr/lib/libosp.so.5 on gentoo, i reemerged it and solved the problem. Now 
the armstrong-gpe-image is complete. But this introduced a doubt. OE build 
some tools directly, and use other directly from the build host, so it could 
be teoretically possible to produce different images on different host. Is 
there a way or a plan to avoid it and make OE build host independant 
(supposing i was correct)? If not, what's the most used/supported distro by 
OE developers?

Regards
