There's the [test "x$cross_compiling" = xno] that will be false in your
case. For most cross-compiles, a need for supplying stuff as parameters
to ./configure is totally normal in my opinion, I wouldn't care much
about it.

Having said that, if everything is named as the autoconf system expects
things to be named, it should ideally "just work". We might miss some
pieces for this in configure.ac - very little time has been spent
testing that aspect of cross-compiles.
