Gentoo A project to create embedded versions of Gentoo Linux has achieved preliminary releases on x86, MIPS, PPC, and ARM. The releases include native core system binaries, cross-platform toolchains, and, for x86, an optional hardened toolchain. The year-old project needs developers to help add cross-compile awareness to source packages.

Did you read the part about competition? It would be stupid to give away an edge like that.

Why not benefit from a common base, while still having your own patches in your local overlay? I guess it will be a way to go for Gentoo, but you may loose competition, if you still invent the wheel again, while others don't have to.
