Orange Pi is a controller and not a gateway. If you are suggesting you want to use the 5v adapter to power both controller and gateway I can not answer you. It might work but in the same time it might be to weak or to much interference. Try! If you get alof of random freezes and/or bad network communication you might want to seperate them
It might work - but using the nrf24l01+ amplified requiers some more juice than then pro mini/uno/nano can handle so I suggest using a power in with a good voltage regulator (that can provide high current) and then split of to each unit.
As promised, what I found so far: the following dockerfile yeilds a usable cross-compile environment, provided you use it with a Makefile.
FROM ubuntu:xenial
RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install --yes \
vim \
build-essential \
git
RUN git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools
RUN git clone https://gist.github.com/3873805.git /build
WORKDIR "/build"
CMD ["/usr/bin/make", "CC=/tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc"
, "HelloWorld"]
# Seems I need a real makefile for the above to work.
For cross compiling mysensors to work, hoever, you also need to properly seed the variable in configure, for it to work correctly. This is where I left off.

Just one final question... is the approach to MQTT correct or should I stick with simple Ethernet? I was planning on using OpenHab or Home Assistant.
Thank You all
