AFAIK, the binaries are all prefixed with "arm-linux-", so it should be
possible to add the arm directory to the end of $PATH as well
(providing, that all calls to compiler bear the dorrect prefix).

Is there any *working* image at all?

I have tried familiar for hx4700 (which has the closest specification to
A730) and it either hangs on "kernel panic: tried to kill init" or
somewhere in the init scripts (if they manage to run at all). And I've
had basically the same result with armedslack (slackware port to ARM
architecture). No idea what's wrong... :(
