Is it?  And why?

Did you read the documentation?  I am prety sure that you did not find
that idea there.

Seems you already have a libtool problem here.  Most probably bcause
it does not understand that you are cross-building.  Check the
logfiles, and pre-seed the necessary ac_* variables in your build
environment.
