RFC: embedded ppc rootfs?

[Kumar Gala]

I was wondering what people are using for their projects as  
"distro's" for their root file systems.  I spent this weekend trying  
to get several of the alternatives I could find working on a ppc64  
host system with out much success.

I'm interested in two aspects of this question.  One, are their  
projects that I missed that people are using on ppc (eldk, buildroot,  
lfs, ltib).  Two, is there an need for a better open source embedded  
distro for ppc?  And if so, do people have the ability to pitch in  
some effort towards producing a better distro?
