If you run TS-LINUX on your board, you will not be able to compile locally on
that board.
But if you run Debian on a SD-card or even USB thumb-drive, you could compile
natively.
If you cannot compile natively on your target , then you must cross-compile
anything that
you want to run on your target.
HOST = where the compiler runs
TARGET = where the compiled program runs. If they are the same, that is native
compilation.
Does this address the question?
Can you give more information on your host and target systems?
