Read back a few days on the list (archives online). Torsten has 
several useful packages precompiled.

For cross-building, google on "Cross-building packages" by Krister 
Walfridsson. He is working on a technique using emulation, but so far 
only for the ARM port. He'll certainly get there, but in the end 
memory limitations limit what you can actually run on the Jornada, so 
try out what you have already before taking the trouble to try to 
build a bunch of new packages. Particularly in X, I only have enough 
memory left on my 680 to keep a single xterm open, with no history 
stored. Try much more, and the system locks up hard.
