mhh, I did it the same way. I use the raspbian image from the raspberry pi 
foundation. I compiled exactly this version:

http://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/GnuArmToolchain

My raspberry is resetting when I pull the USB-UART Adapter. But if it is 
present while booting, I can use /dev/ttyUSB0 and the mobile-app is 
working like on x86-Architecture:

OsmocomBB# show ms
MS '1' is up, service is normal
   IMEI: 3532900XXXXXXXX
      IMEISV: 353290XXXXXXXXXX
      IMEI generation: fixed
   automatic network selection state: A2 on PLMN
                                      MCC=262 MNC=07 (Germany, O2)
   cell selection state: C3 camped normally
                         ARFCN=XXX(DCS) MCC=262 MNC=07 LAC=0xXXXX CELLID=0xXXXX
                         (Germany, O2)
   radio ressource layer state: idle
   mobility management layer state: MM idle, normal service


Even OpenBTS with sylvain-testing code is working.
