I actually built the code on gentoo just fine...

Failing to build on $RECENT_DISTRO would be a bug

Seeing as this is an embedded product I would be surprised if it didn't build on all but the most broken Linux distro. I assume the only real dependencies will be having an appropriate cross-compiler.

If there are any dependencies on the build host's installed libraries I would expect that to be a bug.
