Yes, you can but it will take 300 years for everything

set up distcc, spread the compilation to other machine(s) and it'll be workable.

I don't know how to, but I know some people compile their software on stronger machines then copy the binaries over.
If anyone wants to respond and give a brief explanation of how it's done, that'd be awesome : )

Using distcc

distcc will allow you to offload compilation
also, you can create a chroot environment within another system, and adjust the CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS to target the correct -march. Compile packages, enable archive creation, then move them over to the weak machine.
