What Embedded Linux Distros Would You Support?

dannys42 asks: "I work for a cool company that works with, among other things, embedded Linux systems. We'd like to provide an SDK for our customers and will likely support one or two Linux distros, plus Windows+Cygwin as build environments. Up until now, I'd assumed that most corporate developers were using Fedora, simply because of its similarity to Red Hat Enterprise and for its maturity. However, I'm curious to know, for those fortunate enough to develop for embedded Linux, what distribution do you expect to be supported for a build environment?"

Simple: Any. There isn't a reason why it shouldn't work on all distro's. I assume your SDK compiles with gcc and runs on an embedded target, so it would be more meaningful to support a compiler version than an OS. Or am I missing something?
