The way configure works is by running a lot of compiles and links for
various "test programs" with various options, to see what works on the
machine _where configure is running_ and set defines accordingly for the
Vim version you're trying to compile. Therefore I'm extremely doubtful
(to say the least) about the possibility to run configure for a
cross-compile. IIUC you should "figure out" yourself what works and how
on the target machine, set src/feature.h and/or src/auto/config.mk
and/or src/auto/config.cache accordingly by hand, not run configure
yourself, and make sure that make doesn't run it either.
However, I've never run cross-compiles (other than Cygwin gcc run by the
src/Make_cyg.mak, which never calls configure), so, like Dr.Chip, I
don't know how near (or far) to the mark I'm shooting.
Best regards,
Tony.
