[Peeweelinux] How to build 6.2 programs, or other ways

[Barry Gershenfeld]

I need to write myself a program to let my embedded board
do control, and so to assure myself success I would need
to compile it on a RedHat 6.2 system like everything
else in peeweelinux.  But are there alternatives? Ken
Emmons has put a 2.4 kernel in his system.  Does this
cause any problems?  Will everything work like magic
or is the real problem in the libraries?   And then the
libraries have to match the kernel....I was able to
build a 6.2 kernel using egcs, so can I repeat this
trick on my own program?

The answers, even if negative, would help me understand
how the parts of the system link together.

My host system is RH7.3
