Look at the configure script, then the Makefile(s) that it generates.
Often times there is a variable you can set to override a specific
test.  This is the only way to get a lot of open source packages to
cross-compile.  The configure script is usually fairly hard to read,
but once you learn how to read configure scripts, it get's easier to
find what you need.

libtool is also a disaster when it comes to finding stuff it shouldn't
on the host so you also sometimes have to hack on ltmain.sh...
