I guess I have different goals. 

I'm trying to build a native ARM development environment. Android Linux
is too restrictive and the chroot option seems to be just what I'm

I was able to get the auto* tools compiled last night on my SGT2_10.1
and will try a test compile of Gambas3 from svn trunk today.
