What are the options for moving files to an embedded Linux platform?

I have an embedded Linux device and I want to run lmbench on this
platform, just wondering what the options are for moving the lmbench
bundle to the Linux device. As the Linux is a minimum configuration, I
don't think the lmbench source files would compile without any
problems on the linux platform, my guess is that I would definitely
need to compile the benchmark on a host and move the executables to
the Linux device, but that would require modifcations to the Makefile
of lmbench. I would like to know what the easist options are for
benchmarking this embedded linux with lmbench.

The device can only communicate through serial port with host, and
possibly via ethernet as well if I have to do so, what's in my mind is
to compile lmbench locally on my host and build the executables into
the kernel image and then program the image into boot flash.

You will need to cross compile lmbench for your target system. That
means you will need a toolchain for your target that will run on the
host system.
