[oe] Did the chromium recipe even build fine in OE?

Hi all, I'm trying to port the chromium recipe from OE to Poky.  After some investigation, I doubt it could ever build in OE?

1) The last update to the recipe happened in Apr, 2010 -- 15 months ago. Since that, the locations of some repos have changed, e.g., in custom_cached_svn, the locations of native_client, JavaScriptCore, WebCore and WebKit/chromium have changed; looks pywebsocket and patched-ffmpeg-mt have been dropped from the repos. So I updated and commented them accordingly to make do_fetch and do_fetch_post pass.
BTW: the size of the whole source codes is really big -- more than 3G bytes!

2) The file include.gypi is for ARM only, so I belive the recipe was only tested for ARM target, if there was any test?
So I moved the file into the same directory where gypi.patch is in and updatd include.gypi by changing 'target_arch' to 'ia32' and replacing 'armv7' and 'arm' to 'ia32'.

With my changes, do_configure can pass, but do_compile fails (A sligher longer long is at http://pastebin.com/8w9LJTsa) :
| /bin/sh: /bin/i586-poky-linux-ar: No such file or directory
| make: *** [out/Release/obj.target/v8/tools/gyp/libv8_nosnapshot.a] Error 127

The 'sysroot' include.gyp is empty. This might be the cause? 

I'm trying to look into this. 
Please comment.
Any suggestion is appreciated!

Thanks,
-- Dexuan
