MIPS and Intel (or AMD) - are two different animals. What's compiled here
won't work there and vice versa (this goes for
linux/solaris/windows/mac for almost the same reason)

Usually, when not mentioned, a "linux binary" would be an i386 (intel/amd)
compiled binary... not a mips.. so I guess that the binary won't really
work for you :\

for that reason exploits for i386 won't work on mips and vice versa as
well, because they're simply different.

if you've got the source, you can compile it on your own box and it'll
work.
