That image just barely fits into the NAND partition, and when the system 
comes up it sees the disk as 100% full. This means that Dropbear is 
unable to generate the ssh host keys, and probably causes other 
failures. However, I still got "SPANK SPANK SPANK" errors after deleting 
some cruft to free up a couple of MB.

I've got another one building right now, which will hopefully be a bit 
smaller. Another alternative would be to transfer the image onto the SD 
card, but that's not convenient for me because I keep my main 
development system on the SD and use the NAND as scratch space for 
testing images.

I've never yet had it build entirely on its own. At a minimum, 
packagekit and openmoko-appmanager2 need to be told to expect libopkg 
0.1.4 rather than 0.1.3 (in configure.ac) and packagekit also needed a 
"--disable-docbook-docs" in its EXTRA_OECONF. Note - this is with 
"autorev" and the "org.openmoko.dev" branch.

The biggest pain I've had is with packages versioned like 
"embryo-0.9.1.042+cvs20080522" when the build crosses midnight UTC. It 
runs some of the steps like do_fetch and do_compile on the 22nd, but the 
date has advanced by the time it tries to do do_install and it looks for 
a non-existent "...cvs20080523" directory. Deleting all of the 
tmp/stamps/... files for the affected package and then rebuilding works 
around this, but it would be nice to have a proper fix.

p.s. While typing the above message my build has made its way to the 
following failure, which does not go away with a rebuild:
