The i586 hardware is 1+ day. My i686 and x86_64 Baytrails are half/day. I'm impatient. I turned on a CentOS 6.x 32 bit. I compiled the i586 and i688 packages in an hour each. Cost me what? 30 cents? 

I need to redo my dev environment to support the lowest common denominator of i586. Many distis have abandoned i586 and ever 32bit due to the support and testing requirements. I totally understand. Instead of using a base and then making my own derivative I'm doing it from "scratch". 

Later I'll decide if I want to create a package that contains i586 and i686 builds. I may have a package that is either due to a few devices using only a modem to communicate. Since I'm at 99.9% GNU stow I could have a small bit of i586 in initrd and then unstow the correct architecture before pivot_root(). 

It does appear my openssl install did not hit DESTDIR like I told. I'll check that out later. Full system, almost not files outside of /usr/pkg
