Well, I guess I can do that, (and I guess I will have to).
I just thought it seemed kind of convenient to compile the cgi-program
on my harddrive, and then FTPing the binary to the server, instead of
uploading the source code and then telnetting and compiling.
I know, telnet isn't that difficult, and the major reason for my
interest about the cross-compiling was curiosity about whether it is
possible or not.
