Well, actually...

Linux is supposed to be binary compatible on the same platform. That means that if I compile for, say Ubuntu, on my Reader, I should be able to use that executable in Android on my Reader without recompiling. That assumes major version of the core linux, and as you point out, the required shared libraries already in existence.

That said, I have not personally tried this on any platform. Theory rocks, but application is rocky.
