Large part of the binaries are directly from the N800 image (I do not know
the exact compilation options used for those). Only those that I have
needed
to modify somehow have been recompiled at this stage. So, the binary
compatibility between the platforms in surprisingly good (at least what
comes to those compilation options used for N800 binaries).
