Tell that to Freescale who sell their evaluation boards for manyfold the price of their development boards, both for the very same chip, as outlined in the thread I linked to.

This is what he pointed out as a feature of development boards for *hardware* developers vs. development boards for *software* developers.

I wouldn't say so.

If I understand minator right, he says it's a board primarily targeted at software developers, not so much at hardware developers.

I guess it should already run:

"linux-arm-system
The hosted version for Linux/ARM. [...] Please note that this version requires at least an ARMv6 CPU with VFP unit."

Yes, the Cortex-A9 core meets the "at least an ARMv6 CPU with VFP unit" requirement, and the GPU support doesn't need to be inside AROS anyway as this is handled by the underlying Linux.
