What you want is a arm debian etch toolchain, not a devkit. The best
way would be to use the emdebian i386->arm crosstoolchains from:

http://wiki.debian.org/EmdebianToolchain

Those toolchains are build out of etch sources, so they will be
definetly compatible with etch. To imprort the toolchain to scratchbox,
use the ForeignToolchains instructions:

I don't think anyone has imported a emdebian toolchain to scratchbox
before, so you are somewhat on your own. But the scripts should be
relatetively readable if you hit any problems.
