FWIW, my Dockstar still runs FreeBSD 8.2-stable from 2011, due to problems getting anything newer working on it[1].

Another thing, how does one set up a build environment that doesn't clobber source builds on the host?
The last time I did this, I just let the Kirkwood build clobber the files on the host and fixed it afterwards.
Having a permanent build environment for Kirkwood would be much nicer.

Getting the LED controlled would be very nice.
