Or generating and installing the SDK, then develop -> cross compile -> copy to target -> run -> rinse and repeat. Then when working, update your applications recipe to point to the new revision and have a "clean" production image pop out. The pain points with this come when you want to use new libraries etc and you have to do a rootfs + sdk rebuild and upgrade but in reality these are few and far between.
