[Tails-dev] Building binaries for use in tails

What is the ideal build environment for building binaries that will be run
in Tails? Would a squeeze chroot in addition to the tails apt sources be
sufficient.

I'm working on a project to extend Tails to use virtualization similar to
whonix and need to build a tool called redsocks written using C.
https://github.com/darkk/redsocks .. it is in the latest Debian but not in
squeeze.

Cheers,
David
