sigh.. I still can't send you a private message. Hopefully you'll check back on this thread. I'll repost our conversation here (and i'm sure some people are interested in this topic too).

I have a working tool chain but so far it's a big "So what?"
You can't execute native executables from card and the built in filesystems you can execute from have very limited space left over. :-(

So the limit is the size of the executable? What kind of size are we talking about? I'm not trying to compile and load some big package like ghostscript so maybe that isn't a problem. Also, maybe some things (e.g. mp3 decode library) could be deleted to make room?
The bigger question, though, is whether it's possible to manipulate the display on any meaningful or advanced level? (e.g. switch to 1bit mode, access the front buffer, cause a redraw)?
