I would go with a recent vanilla kernel first. i.MX6 support is quite mature these days. Maybe you have to write your own DTS file or adapt another, but this should at least bring you to a running board with serial console.

Some things that draw my attention, though: Sorry, I'm not familiar with toolchain details. As far as I can tell ptxdist uses more or less generic toolchains which should work for a wider range of boards. If you want to squeeze the last bit of performance you may want to configure and build your own toolchain or have a look at another project, but just using the above should certainly be enough if you don't have very tight performance requirements.
