I really can't say that this is going to happen frequently...
But I've seen situations where developers cross compile from
their Windows desktop and then execute on a server running a Unix-like
system. It might make less sense for GNU/Linux (I think that people
are less scared of it, these days), but could make more sense for
IRIX - I don't know how easy it is to procure a machine running
IRIX these days...
