Mostly tiny differences in the Posix implementation. For example,
missing functions in C libraries, missing types, or sometimes extra
arguments to functions.

They aren't portable. You'll need to generate your own (using config.h
from the target machine) following the instructions on the building
section of the manual.

It should be quite possible :)
