If you want 'clean' build w/o stupid errors, you should define CROSS_COMPILE and other macros to be used diring cross compilation. After that, X understands there are hostcompiler and crosscompiler. Then, makedepend & Co are compiled by hostcompiler and X server itself are compiler by cross compiler. In principle, you may safely ignore all that stuff and be ready to build makedep & Co manually.
