I have no idea what Scratchbox is, but when running gnu configure to 
cross-compile something, you typically need to supply the following 
switches:

--host=powerpc-linux --build=i686

and CC will have to point to your cross compiler (e.g. export 
CC=powerpc-linux-gcc, or export CC=ppc_6xx-gcc, whatever your cross 
compiler is called).  Of course, the values of these switches will 
depend on your setup, but this is what I use and I've built all sorts of 
packages from source.

regards,
Ben
