Debian has supported installing any library in Debian for any
architecture on any architecture for the purposes of cross-building
since before Sarge.
$ sudo apt-get install dpkg-cross
$ dpkg-cross -b libjpeg62-dev_6b-14_armel.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i libjpeg62-dev-armel-cross_6b-14_all.deb
??
Or just use apt-cross which downloads the .deb for the architecture
requested and passes that to dpkg-cross.

You need the dpkg-cross support and then use --build and --host in the
call to ./configure.

(Currently got a few problems with email and having to use webmail so no
sig this time - should be sorted out tonight).
