https://opensource.motorola.com/sf/projects/a1200 has the official
sources for the A1200.  They seem currently to only have the tarball
and forums with lots of discussion - it's not obvious that
re-compiling them [with fribidi added] is easy.  But it's definitely
worth checking.

http://www.mkezx.org/ also looks like a great place to start for
compiling (although it's unmaintained now).

An important question is how do you install software onto the A1200
once compiled?  Does it have a package manager?  SSH/telnet/filesystem
access?

P.S. AFAIK, Montavista distrubute just the kernel (configured for many
embedded platforms) distribution + cross-compilation tools.
Hopefully, the official sources will have everything you need.
