OK, the best bet then is probably to build the binaries on another
system, and link them statically. I.e. find a linux box where you can
build the Hobbit client. Run the normal "./configure --client", then
edit the generated Makefile and near the bottom right after where it
says
   # Add local CFLAGS etc. settings here
add this line:
   CFLAGS=-static

Then run "make" as usual and "make install", then you should be able to
just copy the client directory to the secured servers.
