The Rob Landley emulator image has been quite solid.
It was only posted for the person who wanted to do: "one or two small programs".
Our "abusing" it by trying to build complete toolchains and small Linux distributions is showing some of its limitations but have not disqualified it for its original purpose.
Two things for the newbe to keep in mind:
The emulator runs the same command shell (of a different version) as the Kindles.
A good place to answer the question: "Will this script of mine run under ash?"
It does contain a complete "C" and "C++" gcc toolchain (in addition to the mis-functional tcc build).
