Well, you are now in a different realm of possibilities when you have an
MMU. That little piece of hardware just opens up the whole processor to
some nice capabilities. I have been doing quite a bit of work with
Linux on ARM processors having an MMU and have found two ways to build
the operating system: buildroot and OpenEmbedded. Each have their
pluses and minus, but a lot of the work that you will now be undertaking
has been done before and fairly well put together.

Buildroot is primarily uClibc based, OpenEmbedded is pretty agnostic
when it comes to what lib you choose to use.

Have fun!
