At the moment "configure" is running. I started it half an hour ago! The actual build process might take a whole day or even longer...
Everything different from the versatile board seems to be rather hard to set up at the moment. No tutorials on the net that fit a noob like me...

I built ghostscript this way, so I _do_ have some idea of the speed. However, I almost cried in frustration when I saw what people were doing to get that software cross-compiled. Building in qemu may have been slow, but it took no effort after the development tools were added, and it finally just worked. I just went off and did something else in the meantime. 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.
