I've had great luck using Scratchbox. It's easiest to use on
Debian-based host systems (the compile PC).
Basically, it uses a combination of an ARM emulator (qemu) and chroot
to create a virualized environment where you can use things like
autoconf (aka ./configure) without any funky cross-compile options needed.
You can even use apt-get inside the virtual environment to install
ARM-based packages into the virtual environment itself. So, if you
need some library or another, just apt-get it.
Further, if you really need the binaries to run on the target
hardware, there is an option to do this using a combination of nfs and
rsh.
It looks a little intimidating at first when you go to
www.scratchbox.org, but don't be scared off, basically you use apt-get
to install a few packages, and then it's all menu-configurable from there.
I can't imagine doing development for the TS boards without it.
