I had an inkling to port some dev tools to my Kindle so I could do some programming on the go. I thought it'd be only a moderate annoyance to put together a build platform.

What is even going on here? Like, yeah, I get that Amazon has made it a pain and a half. But there's not a "here, download this and you can build binaries" option?

NiLuJe, you're my <expletive> hero. I've not got your toolchain working, but I see the amount of effort that's gone into it.

Can I help build a Docker image or something to open the dev doors to more people?
