Using one of mmontour's builds for the GTA01 yesterday I managed to

SPANK! Naughty Programmer, now go fix your code!" errors.
That image just barely fits into the NAND partition, and when the system
comes up it sees the disk as 100% full. This means that Dropbear is
unable to generate the ssh host keys, and probably causes other
failures. However, I still got "SPANK SPANK SPANK" errors after deleting
some cruft to free up a couple of MB.
I've got another one building right now, which will hopefully be a bit
smaller. Another alternative would be to transfer the image onto the SD
card, but that's not convenient for me because I keep my main
development system on the SD and use the NAND as scratch space for
testing images.

I've never yet had it build entirely on its own. At a minimum,
packagekit and openmoko-appmanager2 need to be told to expect libopkg
0.1.4 rather than 0.1.3 (in configure.ac) and packagekit also needed a
"--disable-docbook-docs" in its EXTRA_OECONF. Note - this is with
"autorev" and the "org.openmoko.dev" branch.
The biggest pain I've had is with packages versioned like
"embryo-0.9.1.042+cvs20080522" when the build crosses midnight UTC. It
runs some of the steps like do_fetch and do_compile on the 22nd, but the
date has advanced by the time it tries to do do_install and it looks for
a non-existent "...cvs20080523" directory. Deleting all of the
tmp/stamps/... files for the affected package and then rebuilding works
around this, but it would be nice to have a proper fix.
p.s. While typing the above message my build has made its way to the
following failure, which does not go away with a rebuild:
