I looked at this, and there are some problems:
1: the iPhone kernel does not appear to have any support for remote  
filesystems.
2: sshfs is dog slow (there's a huge delay when closing a ssh  
connection for whatever reason)
3: netatalk doesn't appear to set permissions correctly, so ffmpeg/ 
ffserver aren't marked as executable

Anyway, on my iPod touch 1g make test has been going for two hours  
only to get stuck on dnxhd_720p_rd. I'll try it again overnight.

By the way, does the script at http://fate.multimedia.cx/running.html  
include Mans' changes for cross-compiling?
