do you intend installing the Armel distribution in a virtual machine to build software, or do you have hardware on which you can install it?
You install on a standard x86 or x86-64 machine , in a chroot.
But don't you need qemu to run the armel binary? Or you could use crosshurd kind of thing if it there (last time I checked it allow you to install hurd-i386 and kfreebsd-i386).
You have to use qemu.
That clears it. In essence, you are emulating the architecture on a faster machine, where you don't have to actually "cross-compile"m but just compile.
Thanks for letting me know.
