Good point. Do you know if there is some pre compiled version for the
BMC I can just copy there?
I tried cross-compiling it but it fails due to a quite old glibc version
on the bmc (2.11.3). Also as the bmc is a quite stripped down version of
linux, building on it is also not really an option, right?
