I was just recently made very happy at being able to compile C actually on the
NanoNote.  If you haven't already and you'd like to try it then:

  rm /usr/bin/strings
  sed -i '/\/usr\/bin\/strings/d' /usr/lib/opkg/info/busybox.list
  opkg update
  opkg install binutils
  cd /
  wget 
http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/software/packages/NanoNote/Ben/latest/gcc-mips_4.3.3-2_xburst.ipk
  opkg install gcc-mips_4.3.3-2_xburst.ipk
  rm gcc-mips_4.3.3-2_xburst.ipk

It's a bit more involved than simply installing the binutils and gcc-mips
packages because:

 + binutils includes /usr/bin/strings, which clashes with the same file in the
   busybox package
 + The gcc-mips package is too large to be downloaded in to the ram disk

Could future release images please have CONFIG_BUSYBOX_CONFIG_STRINGS switched
off?  The "strings" command would be missing from the release image but it
would mean that binutils could be installed without fudging opkg.
