My apologies for the mis-information. You're using qemu & chroot then? I thought
this is effectively what Scratchbox is? 

In any case you're not using a cross-compiler at the configure & make level, but
natively compiling due to the use of qemu & chroot?

Is there any reason for this approach rather than using a cross-compiler, or has
all OpenEmbedded building gone this way recently?

Thanks,


Simon
