roberts:
If you have a pi then use the parent, i.e., Debian image on pi includes toolchain. Without a pi then try cross-compiling.
However, it appears that Raspbian ( hard float ) is more desirable. So the scripts in picore need to be updated to look for the extended paths used by hard float libraries as well as Core's three custom binaries need to be re-compiled.
However, if you don't have a pi then current Qemu in repository is not suited. Qemu needs an update to better support hard float binary emulation.
So, not sure if the effort is worth it to continue with current soft float Debian image.
Perhaps it is better if time is spent to update Qemu so others without pi can test. Need to co-ordinate with Qemu's contributor.
roberts:
I suppose that one could compile from within Qemu using the toolchain provided with the full Debian image.
Extract Debian's rootfs to accomplish.
dd if=debian6-17-02-2012.img of=debian_rootfs skip=15769 count=3256320
Still the question is hard float versus soft.

Next I tried to add GCC from Debian but still result is partial, still can't compile. Finding missing components is a slow procedure. Does someone have already a working C toolchain running on picore? Would be good to share it somehow not to reinvent the wheel.

Have you looked in

I could barely run something thereof due to lack of time, however I had some apparent success on my Allwinner.
I think armv6 is armhf already, but I'm not totally positive.
bmarkus:
This was interesting to play with a bit, but I have to suspend it now and work on my other projects.
roberts:
I am in final testing of first kit for generating Core running on Raspbian.
