Re: Familiar build setup.

I should mention that typically the only thing that needs qemu is the
locale generator. You only need to generate binary locales if you are
getting ready to release packages that have locale packages (like
glibc). You can also set:
ENABLE_BINARY_LOCALE_GENERATION = "0"

In your local.conf and qemu-native is rarely ever needed at the point.
