This sounds very similar to my Alpine Linux[1] project. I have used
linux/grsecurity/uclibc/busybox and xfce/firefox/claws-mail/<lots other
dektop stuff> on both x86_64 and x86 for some years now. Interestingly,
Alpine Linux was originally built with gentoo but switched to its own
arch-like build system.
