So unless the sender and receiver architecture match, the receiver needs 
to build the package from source and requires the usual tools (gcc, 
autoconf, etc) for that? How much space would those take up on the XO-1?
I'm not arguing against it, BTW, quite the contrary: I've suggested a 
similar scheme [1] in the past.
