Hi parazyd,

thanks for you work! I have already downloaded the image and I will
test it asap.

As I said a couple of weeks ago, I have already experimented with a
custom toolchain for armv6+VFP2, and it works (I was able to
cross-compile a relatively large custom software toolbox in C which
runs smoothly on the rpi0). I have also built a basic system using
LFS, but I did not manage to make it boot, since the boot process in
the pi is a clusterfuck, as parazyd correctly pointed out on IRC.

Now the thing should be integrated in devuan-sdk, the main problem
being that we should recompile all the needed packages and use another
target name, since armhf already refers to armv7 and armel refers to
arm with soft FPU. armv6+VFP2 is a hybrid of the two, indeed...
