Quite a few things need building from ports on the ARM arch's (zaurus and armish share packages; building on an N2100 is a reasonably easy and not horrendously expensive way to speed up builds of software to run on a Z). It's a good job some people did some hefty development work on them, or we wouldn't have OpenBSD/Zaurus which is a pretty useful thing.
