Here's my recipe that cross compiles 99% of all autoconf'ed packages
out there:

1) have the cross compiler in your path
2) export CC=arm-linux-gcc
3) export whatever other tools configure might need
4) run ./configure [flags] arm-linux
   (use arm-unknown-linux-gnu if arm-linux fails)
5) if configure complains about tools, rune "make distclean" and goto 3
6) run make
7) if make complains about tools, run "make distclean" and goto 3
8) run make install
