I think that is called cross-compiling.  It certainly
can be done, but to compile normal (dynamic) binaries
you need to have libc5 (the full package) on the machine
that does the compiling.  I don't mean that the compiling 
machine must actually be running on libc5 -- the libc5 
files just have to be available somewhere on the machine.  
Of course that assumes you intend compiling binaries 
that use the libraries on BL3.  But that's not necessary.  
It would probably be much easier to forget about shared 
libraries and simply compile static binaries. Then you 
wouldn't have to worry about how to tell your compiler 
to use the libc5 stuff (rather than whatever libraries 
you are currently running on your system).

Cheers,
Steven
