Tonight I was able to get i2c working. I think the pieces are falling into place for me, so I’ll stick with Arch Linux for the foreseeable future.

No, I haven’t considered Gentoo. I’ve been sticking with the “sanctioned” distributions and their variations so far. I’ve started to build a cross-compiler tool chain on my Ubuntu notebook. I’ve done cross compiler work before, but the last time I touched anything this complicated was seven years ago.
