I vaguely remember reading something, somewhere, about one possible
problem here ... which is that compiling a Linux system may require
more RAM than the smaller Pis have available. It may be OK in a 1GB
Pi3/4 and I wouldn't expect any problems in the 2GB or 4GB Pi 4
versions. At one time the biggest Pi was 512kB, and that may not be
enough.

I used to build Gentoo Linux on a 1GB 1GHz VIA C3 (roughly Pentium 3
level) box, and it took about three days (with a UDMA-133 PATA hard
drive for storage) ...
