[yocto] yocto tools on a nokia n800

[tiagoprn]

Hello again!

I think nokia n8xx could be a nice example of what yocto/poky are capable
of.

Especially now that Nokia has abandoned this devices, it would be cool to
have a new OS being supported on it.

I'm new to poky, so, if you could make it easier to build the toochain to
build it to a n800, me and many other n8xx owners would be quite happy.

Regards,
