As far as I know Mer is GNU and not busybox, right?

Does Jolla support libc/make/gcc?
"lack of libc"?

Not only you can install gcc/make on it, but it's also much cleaner than on the N900 -- where the compilers in the official SDK repo had some problems thanks to scratchbox1 contamination.

I don't think it's precisely the most "integrated" one (being a VM). I'd wish one could use the scratchbox2 tarballs on any distribution (e.g. by putting required Mer-specific host binaries on a special prefix?). But at least you can put it in a chroot, which IMHO makes it "nicer".
