Apparently the X build-system expects most/all tools to be prefixed with
the platform name, i.e. "arm-linux-", when building in a cross-compile
environment. The instructions for building X for iPAQ probably assume
that you use the cross-gcc toolchain for arm-target, which is provided
as a pre-built tarball from handhelds.org which you install under
"/skiff" (or, that you built your cross-toolchain from source as
instructed on handhelds.org).
So, you would execute the given commands, in the shell of your
cross-compile host, to make your toolchain agreeable for the X build system.
