I managed to build an image for Dockstar with crichet, but then I had a (temporary, hopefully) setback,
I managed to brick my Dockstar so that it doesn't even output anything to serial port anymore.
it accesses the usb stick on power-on, so it isn't totally dead. I'll have to use a JTAG adapter to revive it.

On the positive side; I get to learn about JTAG and the tols to use that. I have a GoodFET42[1] JTAG adapter, but it doesn't seem
like it is supported in OpenOCD 0.7.0 (which is the newest version in ports).
