It's a bit tricky. Here's my build recipe:
1. untar bash
2. make two build directories: i386 and arm
3. cd i386
4. configure for i386: ../bash-2.03/configure (this is a little known
feature with every autoconf/automake package)
5. cd ../arm
6. configure for ARM: ../bash-2.03/configure arm-unkwown-linux-gnu
7. see where it crashes, replace (with educated guesses) the relevant
parts of i386/config.cache into arm/config.guess
8. compile bash
9. Repeat steps 6-8 until you got a working binary
