I guess I should give a little more detail on what the C program is doing. 
 That program takes kernel syscall numbers and generates lookup tables to 
reference the number to a string.  This is used in decoding the audit log 
information and presenting it in a method that is human readable.  The 
issue I am seeing with building it for the host is incorrect tables are 
generated.  I do not know of a way to get a C program to compile using 
different kernel headers and preprocessor values.  Do you know of a way to 
do this?

Thanks,
Clayton
