I've not gone down that route. I've had good success with the scratchbox
style for maemo (n810, n900, and n9). I have a personal preference for
single virtual machine images that I can turn on for specific tasks or
cross build environments.

I don't actually mind much on the build environment if it is CPU and RAM
heavy. 16gb and 4-8 cores can do a lot, even when burdened with
emulations.
