David,
I'm having a similar problem trying to establish a cross-compile for the arm
based zaurus PDA. First, I am using sorcery's support for cross-compile,
which does indeed use a BUILD_ROOT so all your stuff goes to /opt/cross-
install/arch; but that isn't enough, at least for me, as I still need a cross-
compiling GCC - and "our" gcc 3.3.1 doesn't create arm-linux code, so I'll
have to either change the gcc spell to create all cross-compilers I'll need,
or create a binary spell to download the bootstrap cross-compiler. That is
just the starting block - creating cross-compiled code. The next is, in my
case, creating the install images and the ipkg files; in your case, copying
all the basesystem binaries generated by cross-compile to a ISO image.
I hope I made myself clear - it's still 9h50 and the coffee hasn't kicked in
yet...
