Hi -
I would like to create a rootfs image with a minimal set of software
(busybox) for a target ARM device.
If it's ARM11 and you are OK for memory, you can just use Bash. On an
iMX31 it's fast enough that it's not worth optimizing.
Given a toolchain for the target hardware, what is the recommended
method to cross-compile, build RPM packages?
Fedora packages aren't cross-built but done natively on the ARM device.
They provide a "prebuilt filesystem tarball" to get you started made of
unpacked packages

I guess, the cross-toolchain can be packaged separately for x86.
There is a cross-toolchain additionally: I use it for bootloader and
kernel builds. But it's kind of out of date.

For normal packages, you use the distro gcc natively on the device.
