You may be able to cross-compile to make programs for it, kind of like building Android on a pc, you can compile for the 3ds's arm based soc using gcc and a Linux x64_86/x86 machine.

I'm already working on a build with make, X, binutils, etc. It's only not done due to issues packing it.

Speaking of, @xerpi, what version of as did you compile with? Every version either tells me it doesn't support --64 or it doesn't support -EL. (Running Deb x86_64, everything updated)

I use the armv7-eabihf toolchain from https://toolchains.bootlin.com

Any suggestions for things to compile into the boot image? I've got things like make, gcc, binutils, Xorg (also fluxbox), untested SD R/W support, etc. going, but what else would y'all like to see? There's no network access and SD R/W support will probably be really dumb and broken, so keep that in mind.


EDIT: Well, "going".

I've updated the build instructions, if you have Linux x86-64 I'd recommend downloading a a precompiled armv6-eabihf toolchain.
