Problem is that configure script tries to build and execute a test program -
which is not possible when cross-compiling.
Configure's attempts to do so may be avoided by determining the name of
configure variable that it is detecting value for, and add that variable
into config.cache manually.
This may be done at least by checking configure script itself.
config.log file should contain information about exact line of configure
script where it tries to run the program. Check the script near that line.
