Prebulit binaries of all of the above are at:

The "system-image" tarballs are bootable system images, tested under
qemu 1.5.1, which provide a shell prompt on qemu's stdin/stdout and a
native compiler capable of building Linux From Scratch inside the
emulator. Each contains three wrapper scripts:
1) run-emulator.sh - boot qemu to a shell prompt.
2) dev-environment.sh - development environment (allocate extra
memory/storage).
3) native-build.sh - see http://landley.net/aboriginal/control-images
The "cross-compiler" tarballs are cross compilers, extract anywhere and
add the "bin" subdirectory to your $PATH, then use ${PREFIX}-cc as your
compiler. If this cross compiler is in your path and distccd is
isntalled on the host, the dev-environment.sh script will configure
qemu to call out to the cross compiler via loopback.
If you'd like to build these images yourself from source, grab the
tarball from:
http://landley.net/aboriginal/downloads/aboriginal-1.2.4.1.tar.bz2
And type "./build.sh armv5l" or similar. (Run it with no arguments to
see a target list.)
More documentation than anyone is likely to read is available at:

(Sorry for the noise, but I spent _effort_ making this work with qemu
1.5.1. Almost just put "use 1.2.0" in the release notes, but eventually
got fixes for arm, sparc, and sh4 _without_ sacrificing backwards
compatability with the old releases.)
