I can't build a toolchain that will run in the kindle if I cannot even build a hello program that runs -- unless there is a script-only "binary compiler" that depends only on tools alread in the K1 (like "dd").

And chroot will not work with any of the uclibc rootfs images or files I found. No matter what shell I choose, it says "not found".

And not sure compiling with a uclibc rootfs would work anyway, if binaries from it do not run in my K1.

There is just some huge incompatibility between K1 binaries and everything else. I really wonder how lab126 builds K1 firmware. I think I saw a reference to "scratchbox" somewhere in that mess...
