AFAIK, the PSIONs are armv3 and �cLibc, while iPAQ and Zaurus are armv4 and 
glibc, so they are not binary compatible. For the two armv4 systems, I 
wouldn't even bother building different server packages, since the hardware 
specific drivers are really small considering the available flash memory. 
Maybe it's even a good idea to just put both configuration files into the 
ipk file for the server and let a postinstall script decide which one is 
put into /etc/pgserver.conf.

I could make experimental packages when I get back to my workstation (maybe 
next week), but I wonder if it is possible to build them automatically like 
the documentation currently is.

BTW: What exactly are the PSION machines running, is it also some 
familiar/ipkg based distro or something completely different?
