Re: Cross-compilation, static build, etc

Hi Andrew,

I came across that StackOverflow question too and tried the steps showed in the answer, but unluckly the offending symbol didn't have a correspondent in an older version... I'll try the VM approach, and in the meantime will think of other possible solutions. If I find one, I'll post it here.

Google does find some ways to get around this (including a Stack Overflow
question that goes into details about defining appropriately-versioned
symbols) so in theory it should be possible to do, but I suspect a VM will be
much easier in the end.
