Hi tinycorelinuxrocks
That may be. But since you are running ARM based hardware, and there may be ARM specific information in
the answer, this thread belongs in the ARM section of the forum.

Dirty hackery based on trial and error method of which I declare being guilty of now and then myself

Generally speaking:
- Statically linked binaries have best chance to work
- The less deps the better
- Apps compiled either against newer or much older versions of libc are least likely to work

YMMV

Sounds like I'm screwed. :)

I'm puzzled by curaga's answer to the question I asked before I started to make sure this was feasible:

Are there any other options?

Compiling on native target allwinner is not very productive given the typical 384MB available ram space, as most are 512MB machines and given that the OS on an sdcard. Much better to use a cross-compiler on much more capable x86 machine. But if anyone wants to make a native tool chain extension then there is nothing stopping you. For myself I will continue to use a cross compiler.

That rootfs is packed into an initial ramdisk and not used as is. You should consult your beagleboard docs on how to package and use, if supported, initial ram disk.
