Well, a long time ago I did something vaguely similar by getting
SourceMage on Alpha boxes. But I took the easy route without a cross
compiler; starting with an existing Linux system installed on the box
and then possessing it with SMGL:

        http://wiki.sourcemage.org/PossessGuide

A true initial port of the distro via cross compilation is more
involved, I don't know how well sorcery does cope with that, I remember
folks here playing with cross compilers, though.
The hard way would be going  the http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ route
for a minimal system and then "possessing" that. But I guess starting
with a MIPS debian shoul be possible and the easiest route.


Alrighty then,

Thomas.
