If you plan to make anything buildable by "mere mortals" you probably want
to look at something that is entirely a geek toy and lower speed. One guy
on the linux-arm list has successfully built an ARM based homebrew machine.

Embedded ARM means you can be using 33MHz or slower parts, almost no
glue logic and most I/O devices on chip
