Hi Phil

I have finally found some time to cobble up howto cross test eglibc
on top of oe-core
I have tried to document it here
http://sakrah.homelinux.org/blog/2011/12/cross-testing-eglibc-regression-
testsuite-using-openembedded-coreqemu/

Right now I see around 34 failures on arm out of 1100 odd tests it ran
Let me know if you have any feedback on it.

I will also post the cross gcc testing howto sometimes soon
