Greetings,

Hope you all are doing good, the second week of coding period is over, it has been \
fun and quite some progress on the project has happened. To start with, I tested the \
new riscv profile for prefix on different riscv machines/images, have updated the \
changes and rebased the pull request [1]. After adding support to packages as \
discussed in last week's blog, I did testing for stage 1 and 2 on various machines \
and they got compiled without any trouble.

During testing, the major bug it was seen that pkgconf failed due to missing `CHOST`, \
we which will be fixed by patching it for `riscv` in bootstrap script.

Also, encountered portage falling back to root/portage and user/group in the gentoo \
chroot environment, similar to [2]. Host portage interfers with prefix installation. \
So, the current progress is that stage 3 stops towards the end as it ain't able to \
run `emerge -uDNv system` on the system with gentoo host and asks for root access. \
Although it will continue on non-gentoo host, which we will be testing further. To \
test further we are working with freedom-u-sdk [3] and a fedora riscv qemu image to \
test prefix.

So, this is the brief report for the second week, for the upcoming weeks I will be \
working more on testing and fixing the issues during stage 3. Thanks to Kenneth Hoste \
for setting up the shared VM to experiment with emulated RISC-V environment. Also had \
a fruitful discussions with Guilherme Amadio for the current issues in stage 3 and \
their workarounds, we will look into them and hope we get a working stage 3 soon.

Regards,
Atharva
