I think there s a situation for both cross compiling, and compiling native. But that one should be aware that compiling on flash media is probably not the best idea every. However, one can setup an NFS share, to share with the beaglebone. Which does compile a bit slower. *Or* the method I prefer to use when possible. Is setup a tmpfs directory, and do all my compiling there. Which if you're unfamiliar with what tmpfs *is*. Basically you're create a file system in memory, for which you can specify size. Me, I set my own tmpfs up to 256M in size. Do however keep in mind that I use a separate image for development, than what I'd use for production. Also, Derrek Molloy's book is indeed a decent read for beginners to embedded Linux. *BUT*, it is dated, and may not work with the newer kernel's and images. Device tree files for instance are slightly different, and the sysfs objects for various things such as PWM, GPIO, etc may also be located in a slightly different location. For the more experienced embedded Linux developer, this would not be a problem, but can cause all sorts of grief and confusion for beginners. Do not that I have noticed that DR Molloy *does* have updated content on his web site as "companion" content for his book. However, what I do not know is that if he has addressed the things I mentioned in this paragraph.
