That looks cool, though I'm right now trying a different route for my 
nokia n800: I downloaded a  2.2.0 native arm release to compile a native 
arm eabi compiler under scratchbox, with
make zipinstall OPT='-CfSOFT -dFPC-ARMEL -gl'

Next I'll try to compile a native arm lazarus (however I'm a complete 
scratchbox newbie, so I don't have the slightest idea on how to access 
the display to run lazarus).

I also noticed that under scratchbox I only have /lib/ld-linux.so.3, as 
well as on the tablet.
Any reason why this fix isn't added to svn?
