COBRA , your original comment was talking about C and ARM system.
You have committed a logical fallacy .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_solution_fallacy

In sticking to the original post you can cross compile from x86 arch to arm without a emulator.
It has been a while since I played around with are but here is an example http://www.ailis.de/~k/archives/19-ARM-cross-compiling-howto.html
On a side note, I don't care much for autotools, because I am surrounded by windoz users at work, and they love visual studio.

Cross-compiling Python

right after Brainfuck.NET ?

There are a number of good places to look on the web, including:

Info on Loopback Encryption
Information on using CFS (useful)
Faster Option and another. These people have gone about it a different way.

The German trademark law is a bit complicated, I'm afraid, and there is probably nothing in the Web in English, but here's at least some information in the form of translated headings to get you an idea of how it is structured.

Those out there with some knowledge of German might try the Bundesgesetzblatt (the Federal Law publishing board) or this comprehensive overview of German trademark law with the texts included; I think you can forget the idea of having it babelfished, though, because it's probably a bit too complicated in style to translate properly. Another good resource is the web site of the DPMA (Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt), the German Patent and Trademark Office.

If you know some German and want to go for an entirely different view of the matter, you might have a look at the other side's point of view, in this case in the form of the aforementioned lawyer Günther von Gravenreuth, well known (not to say notorious) for his actions against private and commercial "computer piracy". There even exists an FAQ for people who had legal trouble with him in one specific matter.

The European Union point of view on trademark law is available at the European Patent Office, with loads upon loads of links to various European and other offices and institutions, European law texts, patent databases and other stuff.

Illustrating:

• Install CFS.
• You'd then decide on a directory in which to store the encrypted data. Let's say /home/cbbrowne/Mail/
• Turn it into a CFS directory, via cmkdir /home/cbbrowne/Mail .

  You'll be asked to make up a password.

• Then, mount it, via cattach /home/cbbrowne/Mail Mail

  Use the password you made up.

  This mounts the directory on /crypt/Mail If you look in /crypt/Mail, you'll see plain text. If you look in /home/cbbrowne/Mail, you'll see gibberish.

• Modify your mailer to use /crypt/Mail as the place to store data rather than /home/cbbrowne/somewhere

But the overall result is that by having the encryption take place in the separate layer, the mail client doesn't need to have a "security layer," you don't need to debug it, and you don't need to worry about it getting breached.

Patches also exist to auto-mount your home directory on login if it exists on a loopback encrypted filesystem.
