Bug#1010121: libx11: FTCBFS: cannot run test program while cross compiling

[Daniel Schepler <dschepler@gmail.com>]

Source: libx11
Version: 2:1.7.5-1
Severity: wishlist

While doing a test bootstrap of i386 from amd64, I ran into an error
trying to cross build libx11:

...
checking for xproto >= 7.0.25 xextproto xtrans xcb >= 1.11.1 kbproto
inputproto... yes
checking whether malloc(0) returns NULL... configure: error: in
`/home/tmpbuilder/cross-i386/libx11/libx11-1.7.5/build':
configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
See `config.log' for more details
...

(This came up as a Build-Depends of groff, while trying to
cross-compile enough packages to make debhelper installable.)
