Then I guess its the
scratchbox-toolchain-arm-linux-cs2010q1-202-1.0.17-2-i386.tar.gz the
toolchain I will need..? where can I read info about the specific toolchain?

I used sb-menu to create test targets. Navigating through 'new target'
creation, I chose a toolchain (f.e.
scratchbox-toolchain-arm-linux-cs2010q1-202-1.0.17-2-i386.tar.g), then i
chose devkits (f.e. qemu, perl and debian-* ) and then it would ask me
whether to install a rootstrap -to which i answered no- and whether to
install files - to which i answered yes. Next screen would take me to choose
among options : C-library, C-runtime. gdb, xtrace and few other options. I
chose all of them and next thing that appeared was a msg stating that
installation of C-library failed on target <target_name>.
