If you mean building a systemtap binary that will run on an ARM host
(and thus run a native ARM compiler to build the modules), this is how
it should work:

PATH=...path.to.arm.toolchain..:$PATH .../configure --host=CONFIG_TRIPLET ...

However, this breaks for a few different reasons.  One of them is the
missing passing down of "--host" to a bundled elfutils build, which is
the likely configuration for a cross tool.  There are some other
obstacles.  But in principle, it should be workable.
