Yes.

Xorg with icewm work fine, and also firefox (without the javascript jit
compiler for loongson2f) and mplayer (not the loongson2f optimized).

No idea. I don't know what does the kernel need there. I used the vanilla kernel
defconfig "lemote2f_defconfig".
gcc 4.5.1 is also built there with "--with-arch=loongson2f".

I don't know the Yeelong hardware. If you want to try, I can assist on getting
it working there. Or I can build a system-tarball like that under special
conditions, like loongson2e or whatever. It should simply be 'a matter of build
time'.

Lluís.
