That would be nice.

 The biggest blocker at the moment is

errors when linking binaries linked against libgnomevfs-2.so.

unfortunately I don't have any experience whatsoever compiling stuff for
this environment, so I cannot point you to the right solution. I would
send this question to a mailing list more subscribers, since that way you
have a better chance to find someone with experience on this specific
field. I think gnome-love could be a good place for that.
