Root cannot have permission denied to just-compiled binary on ext2/3 in
normal conditions.

I guess you are using improper file system - e. g. vfat (mounted with
noexec or unsuitable fmask) or NFS (mounted with root_squash). Or your
system is broken and compiler creates non-executable binaries.

You have to do a deeper research for each problem. I guess you will
reach many failures before you will be able to compile your first
binary. You have to analyze logs and solve common problems (detect
missing packages, change compiler flags and fix simple compilation
errors).

There is a lot of documentation about self compilation on the web.
Angstrom is nothing special with a few exceptions:
- Limited resources (you may need swap, additional storage and a lot of
  time).
- Not so common platform (you may need to fix common platform related
  problems).
- Not so common distro (package names are similar to Debian).
