Problem cross-building xorg7rc2

[Felix Kühling]

Hi,

I tried to cross-build Xorg 7 RC2 for x86-64 on an x86 system. However,
the build failed in libX11 when it tried to execute makekeys that it had
just compiled. Obviously that doesn't work when cross building. I don't
have much experience with cross builds, so if there is an obvious
solution I'd be grateful if someone could point me to it. Are
cross-builds of Xorg 7 supposed to work at all?

For reference, this is how I configured libX11-0.99.3:

  export CC=.../x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc
  export CXX=.../x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-g++
  ./configure --host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --prefix=~/xorg7rc2_xf64a --local-state-dir=/var --enable-static=no --disable-debug

And the last couple of lines of build log:

/home/fkuehlin/perforce/fkuehlin-lnx-dk/gcc/3.3.3-amd64/bin/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc  -O2   -o makekeys  makekeys-makekeys.o  -ldl
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/fkuehlin/src/xorg7rc2_xf64a/libX11-0.99.3/src/util'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/fkuehlin/src/xorg7rc2_xf64a/libX11-0.99.3/src'

TIA,
  Felix
