Quoting some lines from your log file...

As Daniel has said this pretty much looks like a scratchbox bug somewhere.

What I am understanding is that your ARM scratchbox on linux
environment is pretending to be an ARM environment in which you can
actually build and run ARM code.

From your log file the configure script also thinks the same and
assumes that it is not performing a cross-compilation.

I've quoted the getaddrinfo() function detection from the configure
script due to the fact that it actually executes a small program which
uses getaddrinfo() and as far as the configure script can detect it
seems to succeed.

So, focusing on the getifaddrs() function I advise you to compile and
try to run the following snippet as a standalone program. See what
happens and report back, at least to satisfy my curiosity since most
probably the fix will come from the scratchbox camp.

Additionally I've found what seems a, quite nasty, scratchbox bug
report http://lists.scratchbox.org/pipermail/scratchbox-devel/2008-December/000425.html
I don't know if it is a valid report or not, but if the shell is not
minimally conformant autotools and derivatives will have serious
problems running on it.

Here's the snippet you'll have to compile/test/debug...
--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <ifaddrs.h>

int main (void)
{
  struct ifaddrs *ifa = 0;
  int error;
  error = getifaddrs(&ifa);
  if(error || !ifa)
    exit(1); /* fail */
  else
    exit(0);
}
