>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.
