Building Kyua inside qemu mips VM

[Craig Rodrigues]

Hi,

Yes, le0 interface works, I can use dhclient to get an address.
Building kyua and its dependencies takes a super long time even though
there are not
that many.  Building sqlite3 failed because the compiler ran out of RAM (I
did not have swap configured),
since I only had 256MB of RAM.

I'm going to allocate a swap partition and see how far I get.
