Hi Benoît, Thanks for the tip. I already found qemu and have an armel image running. My other debian system where i run qemu on is very old. Running a vm is a solution for building sources only, because the performance is on the slow side.
I will look into qemubuilder, i suspect it is easier and probably faster than running a vm.
