Well yeah. Things will break if you try cross-compiling and just run "make",
because skalibs compiles build-time tests and runs them, to evaluate the
target's "sysdeps" (abilities and nonportabilities and such) - which is
clearly invalid when cross-compiling. So special workarounds have to be
done in that case.
Short version:
* collect the sysdeps for your target architecture by natively compiling
skalibs on that target architecture and copying the .../sysdeps directory
into /tmp/mysysdeps. For x86, it should be trivial to collect.
* to crosscompile: run "package/crosscompile /tmp/mysysdeps"
Long version:

(Note that autotools don't get cross-compilation right, which is one of
the reasons why I'm not using them.)
I'm happy to answer more questions if you've done that and it's still
not working.
