Even if there is a 4.1 howto full of patches it would make things so much easier.
I feel your pain, but there is hope. After a few hours of failing to properly incorporate the DIABLO targets into my CHINOOK scratchbox (more about that below), I decided to create a clean environment into /diablo/scratchbox. It's working fine but not perfect. Hello-world compiles out of the box, but the statusbar app didn't appear in the scratchbox statusbar. It does, however, appear in my tablet's statusbar after a package-and-install. I'm hacking away on it as we speak.

As for my hours waisted, the first indication that something was wrong with the use-the-old-scratchbox method was that af-sb-init.sh WASN'T EVEN IN THE DIABLO_ARMEL TARGET! It was in the DIABLO_X86 target. Huh!?...What!?..."I must have done something wrong". Nope. Well, maybe. But after clearing out both DIABLO targets and trying again I got the same result. And yeah, like I don't have my own sh*t to debug. Thus, I have a shiny new 2.6G /diablo/scratchbox.

Anyway, I followed the "strongly advised" method of http://repository.maemo.org/stable/diablo/INSTALL.txt and it didn't work. Fun.
