Cross-compiling is yet another concept; this is what you would do
when the target machine does NOT have sh, common utilities, grep, sed,
awk, and cc.

But here I guess the old machine is equipped with sh, common utilities,
grep, sed, awk, and cc. So, the most comfortable way of working is
to prepare the tarball on the development machine, transfer it to
the target machine and do a normal build on the target machine.
