[PyQt] Building PyQt5 for embedded Linux systems

On the #pyqt IRC channel on Freenode, I'm being asked about the best way 
to build
PyQt5 for an embedded system, using the framebuffer rather than X as the 
display
system. I've just helped someone get PyQt4 built for a configuration 
like this
using the toolchain for a PowerPC system:

I imagine that using pyqtdeploy is the preferred way to do this these 
days.
Is that correct?

Can anyone share their experiences with this kind of embedded 
development using PyQt?

David
