I fully believe gwenhywfar is still probably unable to be cross-compiled. If 
you have any suggestions (read: patches), I'd gladly accept them and port 
them from trunk to the aqbanking3 branch or vice versa.

As for the system types: I didn't know the difference between host and target. 
Does "host" mean "the system where the compiled package will be used"? If 
yes, then indeed we have to replace target_system by host_system in 
configure.ac.

Yeah, but I don't know at all how this could be replaced, because for several 
things a file is search implicitly on the build system whereas is is needed 
on the host system. For the things we need from gnucash I think we had 
managed to escape this by specifying all things by hand in CPPFLAGS et al... 
or not?

Where do we call xml2-config? Also, we don't use libxml2 anyway, so I don't 
understand why gwen should call this.

Absolutely. Send in patches and I'll commit them :-)
