Well, I took some time and experimented with crossdev for the GP2X and added those notes to my Gentoo GP2X Guide in a new section here (GP2X Crossdev). As I mentioned in the new section, it didn't end up quite working, and as I went along, I saw some potential further complications. So I'm going to pause on this track for the moment and explore another track that may be more promising, Debian on the GP2X.

Why? I haven't really spent much time with Gentoo's crossd evelopment tools yet, or their embedded stuff, but neitehr quite seem a match for this situation. The situation being I have a system, and simply want another computer to compile all new programs so as not to kill my SD card. crossdev feels more like it's meant for building a new system, not incrementally updating an existing one. However, a binary distro like Debian wouldn't give me the problems new software installation on Gentoo presents (compilation killing SD card).

So I'm going to take a look at Debian for the GP2X coming up soon.
