If you have a C/C++ compiler and linker (such as gcc) on your astlinux box, or if there is some known source from which you can get it, then you don't need a cross-compiler. Just download the sources on the target machine and compile there. See also my HowTo page http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm about compiling Vim on Unix-like systems.
