dpkg-cross exports the variables listed in /etc/dpkg-cross/cross-config.<arch>.
configure script should first test if such a variable (that it is
trying the determine the value for) is set in the environment, and if
it is, use this value and do not perform any tests. That is, you can
add your variable into cross-config for your arch (that you just know
in advance), and configure should use it. It would also be nice to let
us know which variable is that and which package it is ;)
