That's just the way AC_CHECK_FILE works. Since you're cross-compiling,
it doesn't think it's appropriate to check for files on the build
system to determine behavior. It continues, right? It should just give
you the fallback behavior. If you want to specify the fontpath, use
--with-default-font-path.
