If not, find a way to test your program off of the Kindle.

No. No serial port. Thanks to you, I did all my JBing without serial port fiddling!
I assume I can copy the cross compiled executable from my Linux box over to my Kindles and test it there?

And if it is a closed source application - go away - we don't do that here.

I have already mentioned that Popeye is an open source application and have also given the github link(
https://github.com/thomas-maeder/popeye).
It was first written for MS-DOS around 1984 in COMAL, a PASCAL derivative. Later it was converted to C and made to run on a wide variety of platforms.
From the Wikipedia entry:

Popeye is chess problem-solving software. Popeye runs from a command-line interface, but it can be used with several operating systems and can be connected to several existing graphical interfaces since it comes with freely available source code in the C programming language. Popeye is one of the most exhaustive solving programs. It can solve problems with many fairy pieces and conditions, and can output to LaTeX. The original author of Popeye was Philippe Schnoebelen who wrote it in Pascal under MS-DOS around 1983-84. The code was later donated in the spirit of the free software movement. Elmar Bartel, Norbert Geissler, Thomas Maeder, Torsten Linss, Stefan Hoening, Stefan Brunzen, Harald Denker, Thomas Bark and Stephen Emmerson, converted Popeye to C, and now maintain the program
