One option worth considering is running qemu in user mode though 
binfmt_support. This has lower overheads than full hardware emulation 
and will be able to use multiple host CPUs for paralell builds (since 
each process runs in a seperate emulator).

To do this

1: install qemu-user-static and binfmt_support on your host box (I would 
suggest using the version of qemu-arm-static from wheezy whatever 
version of debian you are running, the package has no dependencies so 
installing it on a squeeze box shouldn't be a problem)
2: copy /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static from your host box to the same location 
in your arm rootfs
3: chroot into the arm rootfs.
