You can build pretty much anything you want for any arch, cross
or native.. Every so often when using uClibc you will encounter a pkg
that depends on nls/iconv handling or so..

What is lacking is the glue to make the root_fs itself.
But that task tends to be easy enough (depending on desired fstype).
