If you like, but that's almost completely pointless. Why spend hours 
compiling something that will spend 99.95% percent of its runtime 
waiting for user input?  There are certain specific programs that 
genuinely do benefit from being compiled for the host 
kernel/libs/architecture.  You most likely don't use them.
