Disclaimer is I haven't tested it thoroughly because I didn't want to
commit too much time without having the sleep issue resolved since my
intention was to use the device on the road for note taking, remote
terminal, etc.  I got a few core dumps from time to time and the installer
didn't work on the release version (but installing manually to a CF from a
host machine was fine and easy enough that I didn't even bother with the
installer after the cross compile).

>From the cross compiling perspective, I've found over the years that the
most reliable way to do this is with separate object/dest/release
directories for each architecture you build on a given box.

For example:  ./build.sh -j2 -u -x -M /usr/obj.hpcmips -D /usr/dest.hpcmips
-T /usr/tools -R /usr/release -m hpcmips release

If I get a minute sometime in the near future I'll try and see if I can
figure out what's broken.
