If we can somehow reverse-engineer the crt0.S we can build a toolchain to work with the MontaVista Linux, say, no need for a custom-build kernel?

Also igorsk has reverse-engineered part of the Kinoma Fsklib framework and it seems that there is a way to replace the original txt/pdf/lrf plugins on prs-505, like putting fbreader instead.
This would be interesting but has nothing in common with OpenInkpot.
