You shoudl be able to do a toolchain TARGET_ARCH=armv6 to build a cross
build environment, and then you can run make buildenv to launch a shell
to build socat in this environment... I've done it this way in the past,
though I forget if it needs a complete buildworld to work, or if toolchain
is enough..
There also appears to be the xdev-build and xdev-install which I think
install them into the current environment which you can use... Though I'm
not sure if the libraries and other things are built as I've only used
it once a long time ago..
Hope this helps.
