No, it can work.  It's just compiling for one architecture on a
different architecture, or cross-compiling.  GCC has this capability
and more. The catch is that it isn't the easiest thing to do because
you have to worry about a *lot* of details, especially for a project of
any import. It either takes some setup/learning or the use of someone
else's setup for a specific architecture, but it can definitely be done.
