Yeah, I meant to say cross-compilation.

I *think* this is going outside the scope of Standard C, but when I write code for an embedded device that connects to a remote server, I need a test and production piece of software. This is because I need to add additional code to make the debugger work with the 1998 machine. But when I run the actual code, this debugging code needs to be stripped before the machine will electronically sign my code to ensure that it was me who wrote the code.
