Some background:
Scratchbox is a development environment built around Qemu and a user-supplied toolchain.
Scratchbox was developed by the folks at Nokia and is used as a development tool for the arm-and-linux-based nokia internet tablet (N770, N800 and N810). Scratchbox has also some tools for integration with Debian GNU/Linux (that is, there are advantages using ScratchBox under Debian/Ubuntu that you miss if you use RedHat/Fedora or Novell/OpenSuSE).
[QUOTE=ericshliao;256111 Are they working for iLiad development? Why choose crosstool? Can the kernel patch provide by iRex applied to toolchain provide by ScratchBox?[/QUOTE]
Nope. ScratchBox folks are realated to the Nokia Internet Tablet development, not with the Iliad.
When I built the unofficial toolchain I used scratchbox because I had some experience with it and being able to native-compile instead of simply cross-compile eliminates a lot of headaches :-).
OTOH, crosstool is the right tool for the job when building crosscompilers. I've built crosscompilers in the past without crosstool and is not something too pleasant. With crosstool is something quick and works well.
The integration of the toolchain with scratchbox was done following the instructions on the scratchbox website.

I've not tried it...

Path?
