From your github:
Actually, the armel stretch package formally only depends on libc6 >= 2.4 [1], so at least that shouldn't be a problem when just installing the Stretch package on Maemo with libc6 2.5.1.
Of course there might be actual binary dependencies in neovim that require a higher libc6 version, but if that's the case, you should file a bug report against the Debian package, asking for corrected dependencies.
btw, I don't know neovim, but the N900 is my only device where I prefer nano over vim because I find it hard to hit vi shortcuts without breaking my fingers.
Does this work any better with neovim?
[1] https://packages.debian.org/stretch/neovim
These are just repacked Debian Stretch installers (since building Neovim for the n900 always failed for me); installing them are working fine.
WARNING! Neovim depends on libc6 >= 2.7 but Maemo5 has only 2.5.1.

The "needed" version of libtermkey1 and libuv1 depends on libc6 >= 2.7 and neovim depends on libuv1. I shall correct that on github as well.
Hmm... About shortcuts... I do not know nano the way I know (neo)vim - I find the latter(s) more suitable for my usecase; I do not find hard the shortcuts. I used to vim/neovim so I do not know the answer...
And you can map shortcuts as well...

Either result might or might not work properly, but I think it's worth a try.

But maybe I will try to find out

One other thing is that I'm in the same boat as you - n900 is my only device (home laptop is not an option as my wife and kids would "kill" me...) so all my development is done on chrooted maemo-sdk. Building things not always easy as sometimes there are packages that building is depending on that I cannot get work on the n900. But I shall try and we will see. Thanks for the suggestion.

I still have some Debian chroots on my Cubieboard2 for Easy Debian backports, where I could try to rebuild those packages for older libc6 versions.
So far I know that you'd need libuv1 and libtermkey1. Are there any other packages I should build?
Edit:
Did you use armel or armhf packages?

I'm sorry, I can't build those packages.
There is no explicit dependency on libc6 2.7 in the packages, it comes implicitely from the build system.
If there is a way to manipulate this implicit dependency, then I don't know it.
The alternative would be to actually build the packages on a Debian version that still had glibc <= 2.5. This would mean to use Etch, but the armel architecture didn't appear in Debian until Lenny, which already had glibc 2.7.

Many thanks for you to tried this!Then it remains this way...

I happened to successfully install neovim 0.1.7-4 on my n900. You can find the details here.
