Thanks for the pointer, I might try that next. My previous attempts were
not successful enough to get more than the simplest executables running
on the Nokia 770 (generic distro + nokia770 device + a few preferred
versions => glibc-intermediate fails to compile; angstrom-2007.1 +
nokia770 => almost works, but too recent glibc to run a full
SyncEvolution binary on the 770).

As interesting as playing around with OE is, time is up now and I guess
I will just install a suitable kernel and resurrect my Scratchbox
installation to make some progress with my real issue (DBus (?) timeouts
in certain eds-dbus API calls that SyncEvolution depends on).
