Depends on the point of view. Usually, you compile everything into one big
binary and burn that beast to Flash or whatever starage the device has. So
you would in fact add the gkermit sources to your VxWorks image. VxWorks has
no concept of processes and executables stored in files out of the box. You
can load object modules at runtime, but they are linked against the target
too. I don't think that the GPL handles that particular case very good.
