Big companies aren't that sure about their own know-how as guys like Karim :-) And therefore use and recommend distros like Debian and toolchains like Scratchbox : http://www.debian.org http://scratchbox.org
after open the scratchbox home page, i found it is interesting and likely suitable to my needs. thank you. but for debian, i found nothing. and, another question, Karim suggested in his book that we should listen to mailing list for suguestions about gcc/binutils/glibc package selection ( what combination works ), but i am not sure which mailing list is right for this kind of questions, do you know?

Maybe you could even consider NetBSD or something as an alternative for Linux : http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/evbarm/
i am about to run a Linux on ARM920T. -- woody then sun rose thinly from the sea and the old man could see the other boats, low on the water and well in toward the shore, spread out across the current.
