I finally found some time for this, thank you for the encouragement to
proceed, and the tips. I knew less than nothing of 'poky' the day before
yesterday, now just nothing.

But I have generated an 'almost bit perfect' build of -jive_alsa-.
Meaning that I have recreated that which is shipped in the standard
firmware (7.7.3 r16676), except for four differing checksum bytes in the
(unused) -.gnu_debuglink- section of the binary. That is of no
consequence.

So I have confidence that I am using the build system sufficiently
properly, and can experiment with a few possible patches.

I've used Amazon EC2 to spin up a Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04) instance,
just the one core, so it takes about four hours once the sources are
downloaded. I've not bothered with qemu.

I had one or two trials/tribulations/puzzles on the way, partly ssl
related, partly of my own making, and with a good sprinkling of
ignorance thrown in. The somewhat dated SqueezeOS build instructions
were very helpful. (

I find that the sourceforge mirror sites are very inconsistent, some
will accept the 'older' ssl connections, some won't, that so it can be a
matter of pure luck as to whether a particular download succeeds.
