The "buildroot" software runs on a larger system than the Gumstix. The output is a jffs2 image, which you then flash onto the Gumstix. And then you run gforth on the Gumstix in that Linux. I don't know how to put gforth on a system as stand-alone firmware. However, you should be able to find the source of the OpenFirmware Forth that runs in the One Laptop Per Child XO. That's not an ARM chip, but if it's like most Forths, OpenFirmware could be easily ported to an ARM. -- M.
