Yes I have a crosscompiler going I did once compile libpng on my j820
and that took 30mins :P anyway my gentoo based system is basicly a very
min base install which just boots into busybox for now and I am
currently installing qemu to test it out but while that is happening I
am  looking at buildroot to see if it could do a simlar thing with less
effort.
