You could do this, but compiling everything is way too much work; just use the prebuilt packages in the SDK.

AFAIK, this is the normal way of trying software under development in the SDK, with actual ARM compilation and testing (emulated or on-device) reserved for things that should be architecture dependent, and for testing of those that shouldn't (but might be buggy).

I think installing the SDK should get you what you want.
