Right now, it's basically the current buildroot with some changes to  
the hardware interface code in u-boot and the linux kernel, as well  
as some different flags for GCC to support the iwmmxt instructions on  
the PXA270.

I've been looking at openembedded and gentoo's portage system for a  
while, hoping to move to one of those at some point, but:

* OpenEmbedded is a real pain in the neck to install.  Once it's  
installed, it's pretty nice.
* Gentoo is super easy to use when you're running it natively; but so  
far from my trying stuff out, not so easy to use as a cross- 
development platform.  But I might just be missing something...
