Gentoo users cook chickens by first hatching an egg. If it doesn't have a good tool chain?
But Ubuntu is based on Debian and I never heard of any common TC issue with Debian. I use Mint, but other than building Joyce (PCW8512/PCW9512) for Z80 emulator (needs CP/M too) on Mint, I've not fiddled with TCs on Linux since about 2008 and CentOS for x86 and Debian for ARM. Building Joyce needed a lot of extra installs.
However, I'd rather buy a new Kobo or Kindle and use a phone as a 4G to WiFi hot spot than do this. I changed OpenWRT on x86 to use a prototype PCMCIA 4G modem and a custom prototype ARM with touch screen and Debian to use the same modem. Only part of the aerial bulge stuck out of the demo ARM pocket sized box. It was a lot of work, I had a linux guru helping and support & source from the 4G modem maker. Not LTE or Wimax, but a different now dead 4G. Wimax is also dead now.
