I've got a debian-armel-eabi qemu image at 
http://www.kaffe.org/~robilad/qemu/ (root pass: debian, user test: pas 
test) that I use to hack on Kaffe on armel-eabi-linux, you could try 
building Kaffe 'natively' on it, and pushing the installed kaffe over to 
your target device. I have no idea whether it would work, though. It 
works well enough for me to be able to pass most tests using the 
interpreter, though.

I plan to take another look at the cross-compilation FAQ for kaffe 
tomorrow.
