System types:
--build=BUILD configure for building on BUILD [guessed]
--host=HOST cross-compile to build programs to run on HOST [BUILD]
during builds, isn't this the same thing as compiling on the Kindle? Can I 'force the chroot to pretend to be a Kindle? This would allow me to have as much space as I want and a MUCH faster processor..

He used a 256Mbyte swap file.
You should not have to specify --build --host or --target inside of the chroot being run under QEMU.
Just be sure you start QEMU with the matching processor emulation.
Yes, you can have more (and faster - the flash is slow to write) space than you can on a Kindle.
Of course, depending on the horsepower of your host, you might even reach (or beat) the same emulated speed as that which is natural to a K5.
Under QEMU, you will probably need at least a 2.5Ghz, quad-core machine.
If really serious, you probably want to use OVP rather than QEMU:
