mp3splt fails to cross build from source, because it uses AC_CHECK_FILE
to check whether cutter (a testing tool) is present. While it wants to
use cutter during unit tests, the AC_CHECK_FILE attempts to check for it
on the host and when no check result is seed, it simply fails. This is a
case where a simple "test -e" is better. Please consider applying the
attached patch. When doing so, keep in mind that you must regenerate the
relevant configure scripts as this is not being done at build time.
