no problem.
it was a gtk application.

Knew we had a decent chance. (also added some notes on that thread about how to do it on all devices)
I then setup and debian chroot on the kindle touch (optional - you can just use your computer to cross-compile) installed libtool/autotools/build-essential/ccache actually ON the debian chroot.
like
apt-get install (list of junk)
recently SID has moved too far ahead of the kindles kernels so I used a gripped WHEEZY.
(in case anyone is mad enough to actually follow what I did exactly)
grabbed down the source and dumped in /usr/local/src
(well actually /mnt/us/debian/usr/local/src)
did a
autoreconf
./configure --prefix /mnt/us/extensions/galculator/usr {other options}
PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:$PATH make
make install
(this appeared in /mnt/us/debian/mnt/us/extensions/galculator/usr )
then copied to /mnt/us/extensions/galculator/usr
and bad-a-boom it was an armel build for the kindle, by a kindle.
