But can I get binaries that run on the hardware if I build my own kernel and C 
library?

I'm interested in getting binaries that work with the hardware and which I can 
reproduce from standard sources.  I'm trying to build the same software 
across as many different platforms as possible.  Platforms that can't do this 
because they're "special" remind me of the "special olympics" and "very 
special episode" uses of the word special.

But I'm probably not your target audience. :)
