Yeah, and it's not so bad once you start building up a config.site file you
can reuse across builds. I got this idea from the debian dpkg-cross
package. For people who aren't debian-y, the idea is that you set
CONFIG_SITE to point at a file like
http://www.csee.umbc.edu/~acedil1/agenda/files/agenda-config.site and run
configure as normal. (I don't think I like that particular file but it
should give you ideas.)
BTW dpkg-cross comes with a tool that does ldd via grepping through objdump
output.
