Could you try doing:
rm -rf obj-32 obj-64
make clean
make install-multilib prefix=$HOME/scratchbox2

Maybe I've a bug in the build system where it doesn't rebuild stuff when it
should.

debian/etch is the current stable release of Debian. Since Maemo is a kind of
debian derivative (it uses .deb packages) you must have most of the debian
specific build tools available.

debootstrap allows you to install any given debian release into a directory
using chroot. It's available in Fedora, just "yum install debootstrap". Read
the man page for details.

/etch_root is an example of where you would install debian/etch using
debootstrap, it can be elsewhere as well.
