This command won't work for a cross-environment either, naturally. Why
do you need to run it? Anything else that doesn't work there?
Anyway, you can create a Debian chroot on the N900, ssh into it, and
build there. It has a reasonably large disk. Not sure about that
Android tablet, but I heard you can run a Linux chroot on Android as
well.
