I'm not familiar with those instructions, but I'd suggest the prefix
value they suggest is not sensible.
Initial reaction is that you can not install a cross-compiled version,
unless you ensure that the install path is not going to collide with the
host libs.
On the basis of the paths listed below, that doesn't appear to be the
case, it appears to be looking in the host-local paths, which just seems
wrong.
When you say cross-compiled, what host and target are you using? You
appear to be using the host gcc, and it appears to be a Unix system -
I'm guessing the target is an x86_64 Linux system, what is the host?
It might help if you explained what you are trying to do, and we could
tell you how to do it.

The fltk configure script is not cross-compilation aware, and never has
been - the fltk design assumes cross-platform support using tools hosted
locally to the target.
It is unlikely that this will be fixed in the 1.1.x series, since it is
now closed to further enhancements (it is the stable base, so no new
features can be added. Cross-targeting would constitute a new feature,
in practice.)
That said, it is simple to generate cross-compilation builds of fltk -
all the cross-targeting information is contained within the config.h and
makeinclude files, so it is trivial to hand edit these files to compile
for your specific target. I do this fairly often.
The fact that previous versions of the configure script may or may not
have worked in some cross-targeted configuration is quite possibly more
to do with luck than intent!
Again, as I say, if you can tell us what you want to go, we can probably
tell you a better way to get there...
