The real question is, can you produce a faster system and build your software before the slow system does, and is it worth the effort if you only use it rarely? In my case, the answer was no.
One could always try and debootstrap on a SDCard to directly use the M92 (this way you'd only need chroot ported to the M92)
CPU emulation indeed is painfully slow...

P.S.: The busybox binary already supports chroot
