[sugar] A special linux distribution for developing OLPC applications

[Samuel Klein]

For anyone working in C/C++ ,  a note from Rob Savoye:

  "I now have a nicely functioning cross-development C/C++ tool chain for
the OLPC, I added support to GCC/Binutils for this. So now Gnash cross
compiles fine, and I don't have to use the QEMU images anymore. Later I'll
make this available as a tarball for other OLPC developers.  I'm planning on
putting my tarball, which is Ubuntu->OLPC online tonight or tomorrow.
Probably after my vacation [Jan 14], I'll clean up my GCC patch and get it
checked into GCC CVS so anybody can do it."
