I haven't a clue, but that won't stop me from random conjecture. :)

My hunch is that it's like AMD and Intel:  different makers, compatible 
instruction set.

I can't imagine the Tegra would expect every developer to recompile for it.

If you get one let us know how you like it.  Looks like a sweet machine.
