I think that if you want e.g. to compile C++ code with GCC
on the device, you might need to use swap.  Some C++ files
can make GCC to take a lot of RAM.

You should also note that the device has Busybox, not the normal
GNU coreutils/fileutils/textutils.  If the source uses GNU
Autotools for configuring itself, you can run to very wierd
problems because Busybox is not 100% compatible with the GNU
utilities.  And if you want to build Debian source packages,
the device of course doesn't have -dev packages or the Debian
tools for that.

However, all of this is easy to do in Scratchbox (Maemo SDK).
