Depending on context simply adding the "tools-sdk dev-pkgs"
IMAGE_FEATURES is sufficient to build applications on the target, as
long as it's for the hello world or iterative development approaches.
Obviously a recipe would need to be written at some point but getting
a toolchain in the image for development on the target is trivial.

That would be for "how do I create and run a HelloWorld application on
target without using my PC at all?".
I guess I'm still a bit stuck in the era where the target had very
limited resources. For first time users, this is much easier, and for a
workshop, I've indeed supplied a dozen boards that had editors,
compilers and library headers pre-installed for immediate development.
That will work for hello-world style apps, but for more complex projects
that draw in a few dozen complex libraries (gstreamer comes to mind)
this is not going to be very satisfactory.
What he was asking for was "How do I use the cross-compile environment
to develop my own application and run it on the target machine?"
