There are three issues in building an embedded cross-filesystem:
[--CUT--]
3. Getting files into the filesystem when the development
system does not allow root access.

Couple years ago, I found a simple solution for this issue. The filesystem image is described in the initramfs_list file format. That is easy to modify (adding new nodes, fixing paths, etc).
The final image building scenario is as follows:

cat initramfs_list | check_fs_integrity | mk<fs>image > image_file

Of course the initramfs_list file is cooked up dynamically basis on configuration of kernel, drivers and etc.
