Mike, When I cross compile, I run autogen.sh. As you pointed out, this configures it for the current system. Then I run the configure for the cross build. I'm sure there is a better way (like putting it into the autogen script. I haven't worried about it too much because I run it so rarely.
Looking at the messages you are getting, it looks like you may be getting the two systems mixed. One gives an error from the montavista, the other an error from /usr/share. I'm not sure if thats a problem or not, but you may try running "/usr/bin/libtoolize --copy --force" and see if that fixes the problem. From what I've seen, the automake portion doesn't affect the cross compile. Just the configure and make.
