Thanks for the response Marcin :)
Toolchains and environments are a nightmare. Scratchbox is good, but I find it
hard to know how to set up new environments, for example, the NSLU2/Slug (and
that's without the different variants of the Slug images!!!). I see OE has
various Slug types and I am still trying to get bootstrap-image to compile
properly for a slug :( If I can do N8x0 on OE instead of Scratchbox, it makes
maintenance musch easier :)
I will check out Poky as well

OpenEmbedded use 'chinook-compat' distro configuration to build packages
compatible with OS2008. It is not used to build whole rootfs. I do not
remember does OE already has kernel from OS2008 or not - if not then I
will add it soon.
This kernel it is present in Poky which is derivated from OE and used by
OpenedHand. You can run Poky on any Nokia tablet - we (I work for OH)
provide rootfs + kernel on http://pokylinux.org/ website (look into
autobuilder output).

MACHINE="nokia800" supports N800 and N810.

CSL 3.4.4 - same as in Chinook SDK but built from source instead of using
binaries.

Grab OE, setup and then set DISTRO="chinook-compat" MACHINE="nokia800" and
try to build software.
