And that's exactly what I am working to achieve. As I said, the toolchain to cross-compile for armv6+fpu2 (rpi0/rpi1) works. I have cross-compiled and tested on rpi0 a pretty large (custom) software suite which makes heavy usage of floating point stuff. And it works perfectly. Next step on my agenda is to cross-compile a complete kernel + bash + essential binaries and libraries for a minimal boot into single-user mode. If everything goes smooth, I will then speak to the Devuan gurus to see how we can start a port for the rpi0/rpi1 (which we could call "pi-vuan", e.g. spelling it "pi-v1" :D) and integrate it within the amprolla architecture, but this will not happen before Devuan Beta is out.
