  Yes. I do this occasionally for my Sharp Zaurus which runs OpenZaurus
(Debian).

  Yes, but it's not easy...

  You have to hack the Makefile to use the right tools. You can probably
grab the one I build based on OpenEmbedded from http://gnash.lulu.com/tools.

  Way too out of date. This should work out of the box with Gnash CVS
HEAD. In Oct, we weren't doing as much cross compiling.

  Drop all the settings, you're preventing Gnash from from figuring
things out on it's own, which will work better. There is a detailed
chapter in the Gnash manual on how to cross configure and cross compile
Gnash. Note that this will only work with a Gnash snapshot less than a
month old.
