I tried this with some core packages over the weekend, enough to chroot 
into and play around with. The resulting environment works in qemu, but 
when I copied the chroot over to the phone it give me an Illegal 
Instruction error. Seems some armv5 code has sneaked in - possibly 
through static linking - I don't know.

I suppose the solution could be to rebuild these packages within the 
chroot, but I don't have nearly enough armv4 packages built for this. A 
  job for Koji?

Would there be much work involved in getting this up and running?
