+Setup and Build Example: Arch Linux
+-----------------------------------
+This example lists the steps necessary to setup and build a command line only, non-wallet distribution of the latest changes on Arch Linux:
+
+ pacman -S git base-devel boost libevent python
+ git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
+ cd bitcoin/
+ ./autogen.sh
+ ./configure --disable-wallet --without-gui --without-miniupnpc
+ make check
+
+Note:
+Enabling wallet support requires either compiling against a Berkeley DB newer than 4.8 (package `db`) using `--with-incompatible-bdb`,
+or building and depending on a local version of Berkeley DB 4.8. The readily available Arch Linux packages are currently built using
+`--with-incompatible-bdb` according to the [PKGBUILD](https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/bitcoin/trunk/PKGBUILD).
+As mentioned above, when maintaining portability of the wallet between the standard Bitcoin Core distributions and independently built
+node software is desired, Berkeley DB 4.8 must be used.
+
+
+ARM Cross-compilation
+-------------------
+These steps can be performed on, for example, an Ubuntu VM. The depends system
+will also work on other Linux distributions, however the commands for
+installing the toolchain will be different.
+
+First install the toolchain:
+
+ sudo apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf
+
+To build executables for ARM:
+
+ cd depends
+ make HOST=arm-linux-gnueabihf NO_QT=1
+ cd ..
+ ./configure --prefix=$PWD/depends/arm-linux-gnueabihf --enable-glibc-back-compat --enable-reduce-exports LDFLAGS=-static-libstdc++
+ make
