>How do I cross build bash on a i486 ?
With great difficulty. Autoconf scripts are often awkward for cross
compiling, and bash is worse than most because it contains a great number of
tests that don't work.

This is how it ought to work, but as you've discovered the configure scripts
expect to be able to compile and run programs on the build machine.
Unless you really, *really* want to cross-compile bash I suggest you don't
bother trying.
