A patch for cross compiling checking

Thank you :-)

: I made the same mistake many years ago. I ran
: 
: # autoconf
: 
: at the toplevel. After that, nothing worked. It turned out that the
: top level didn't use autoconf. Do
: 
: # head -20 configure.in

Ah, well thanks for explaining that to me.  In which case I have no
objections to approving your patch.

Cheers
