Can I move idl-compiled stubs from one platform to another and rebuild the object files locally?
No. You must run the IDL compiler separately on each platform. The IDL compiler builds the client and server stubs to handle network communication and data marshalling, which are platform-specific activities. Therefore the stub code is not portable and must be re-created on each platform. Likewise, while the task of the stub does not change, the set of service routines called from the stub may be changed by the vendor for any given platform. Therefore stubs for the same RPC may look very different on different platforms.
