No. When I understand mamona right, it is an approach to create a
completely free distribution for the N800 (as replacement of maemo).
The package selection seems to be based on Angstroem and it uses an
upstream gcc4.1 with binutils2.17.50.0.5, at the moment [0].

While mamona is a very nice thing, it does not help to produce packages
for maemo. For this we would need at least a binary compatible gnu
toolchain in OE (mainly gcc, binutils, glibc). Of course, it would be
nice to have the hildon libraries buildable there, too. Whereby the
later one should be easy, I can't estimate the effort for the toolchain.
