* uImage_kwplug is just Linux - the kernel. The sources are mainly
available on kernel.org. You need a cross compiler to build them for
this particular Marvell CPU. Look on Gentoo documentation how to build a
cross compiler and how to compile the kernel.

* sheevaplug.initramfs - This is just the bootable userspace. Since we
are at Gentoo, I guess it was produced using our cross-compiler
toolchain which is embedded in the Gentoo's package manager. Look on our
documentation how to build a cross compiler and cross compile with emerge.

Keywords: crossdev, emerge, cross root compilation, cross compile kernel

There are no secrets, everything is widely available
Have fun ;)
