Can't you just compile it on another box and copy the binary over ?
bbproxy is very much a stand-alone tool.

You could probably remove the "#include ../lib/eventlog." file from the
include/libbbgen.h source-file without any problems for just the
bbproxy compile. bbproxy doesn't use any PCRE routines, so it shouldn't
cause problems.
