I have experience using gumstix to run fuerte under debian 6.05 at
Upenn's Modlab [1]. We compiled ROS-base from source in place without
any real issues, and for our purposes (using ROS for networking and data
serialization on the gumstix, and doing the heavy lifting on more
powerful computers) it worked well.
We opted to do all compilation locally on the gumstix, which was our one
source of frustration; the shortest compilation times were measured in
minutes. A cross-compiling environment would have been worth the time
to setup.
The biggest problem for me was that data communication between ARM and X86 did not work properly if the message contains an uint8. The padding is different. This was if I remember correctly with fuerte. Have not tested yet if groovy have the same bug.
I am very interested reading more about peoples work with ARM.
