For building the system, it is much more complicated and something that I have not set up in my environment. You compile a lot with Java and such.

For rootfs and initrd, it's pretty much what you said, but the gits are the wrong addresses. Haret is the only one using rootfs now as we changed it for NAND. Here are the two gits you want to clone:

git clone git://gitorious.org/xdandroid-eclair/eclair-rootfs.git
git clone git://gitorious.org/xdandroid-eclair/initramfs.git

Note: They are restructuring the XDAndroid stuff to get rid of legacy names like eclair and all that.
