Yes. After having lots of problems trying to replace the scratchbox
toolchain I decided to try to create two "raw" chroots.

One i386 that I could use to test new patches.
One armel were I could build packages for use on the 770.

So far the results look great! I have been able to create the i386
chroot and compile a simple program in it.

IMHO, it would be better to make the repository directly usable for
creating a root file system tree that can be used in a 770 or a "raw"
chroot.

This shouldn't be a problem for creating rootrstraps with bash.
Installing osso-core-gnu should replace busybox with the gnu tools.
