You do have the option of building on a fast x86 (or amd64) box,
running ARM native compiler binaries under an ARM sarge chroot using
qemu.  You should get the same results as compiling on a real ARM,
only much faster -- and it works for software that doesn't have
cross-compile-friendly build procedures.  See my earlier post
regarding mkxdeb.

I haven't gotten around to doing an EABI chroot yet, but I probably
will soon.  I need to build a basic userspace and a Canadian Cross
first, and will probably finish bringing up 2.6.16.x on my board
before monkeying further with qemu.  I'd love to use PTXdist to
bootstrap my userspace efforts; can you hook me up with an up-to-date
version of PTXdist that has crosstool 0.42 integrated?

Cheers,
- Michael
