So a custom kernel for a device as well as an optimized glibc andl
openssl would most likely be sufficient for those bits as well? (I
think this is where others have been going with their suggestions, I
just want to make sure I "get it")
A custom kernel for a device is a basic requirement to get a Fedora
userland booting on it. (There are no "one size fits all" kernels
in ARM land -- yet.)
A custom glibc/openssl would just be optimisations -- the system would
work fine with just the stock glibc/openssl packages.
