Are your systems the same architecture and similar profiles? If so, then yes. It’s just a matter of enabling it and running the quickpkg command.
Otherwise, it’s a bit harder. You’ll be using cross compiler (if different architecture) and a chroot. You’ll have to setup the host to compile for the target systems whenever you do updates. The initial compile will take a while since it’ll compile basically everything.
Gentoo.
Ain’t nobody got time for dat!
😢
Although…
I use a self hosted binhost so that I only compile on one of my devices, share with the rest. Works flawlessly.
Sounds like an awesome setup. I can’t quite let go of my illusory
-march=nativebenefits lol.I’m sure there are small benefits, but the benefits of the binhost are much cooler to me
Was it much of a pain to set up? I was hemming and hawing about distcc recently, but binhost sounds potentially better.

Cool; I’ll check quickpkg out
If recommend checking out the gentoo wiki on “binary package guide” or something like that. It explains quickpkg and everything else.
Having Gentoo update overnight is no big deal. Even better, just leave a core or two free and let updates run while you use the machine anyway!
That being said, Gentoo is definitely a time commitment and I completely understand that it’s a particular taste.
Building from source does provide a lot of advantages though, and I don’t mean faster binaries.
