I can't speak highly enough of the benefits of testing and tweaking on
each of the platforms one develops for, but as far as the mechanics of
building standalones I've had good success for many years building for
OS X, Win, and Linux from my Mac. Win standalones run without
alteration, and the Linux builds run as soon as I set their executable
bit within Linux. The build process itself has always been flawless
here (with the only exceptions being "user error", things I may have
forgotten to include or set up properly, easily remedied).
