Is it possible to only "check out" those needed blobs with  a single
"wget" from some stable tag? Why do I need the whole project history
just to boot my RBPI?

Is this a vanilla kernel? Can those boot the RBPI now? (sweet...)

What happens when you choose a regular common ARM toolchain? From my
tests the RBPI does boot with those CodeSourcery (whatever they are
called now)  toolchains over NFS when I choose generic ARM.

When you re-send the patch, I will also look into the package list. I
looked at what you did in the repository, and IMHO you are building b
default WAY too much. The default should be busybox, and maybe SSH...
all other things are related to the application you want to build, not
the board. Meaning: let the user choose what to compile into his RBPI.
For example, in none of my tests I needed glib2, which you are
compiling.

GREAT WORK! KEEP IT COMING!
