I wouldn't go out and buy one just for this.  The raspberry's are pretty 
underpowered anyway.

I've got a guru plug as well as a qemu environment setup (very easy to 
do), which are both available.  But honestly, cross-compiling from a fast 
x86 box is _tons_ faster than building on-device.  I don't know how well 
gcc is setup for cross-testing though.  That's always... tricky.
