My ARM cross-compiles work fine. See
http://curl.haxx.se/auto/log.cgi?id=20040709200433-10017 for an example.
The relevant output from configure looks like:

checking whether strerror_r is declared... yes
checking whether strerror_r is declared... yes
checking for a glibc strerror_r API... configure: cannot determine strerror_r() style: edit lib/config.h manually!
checking for a POSIX strerror_r API... configure: cannot determine strerror_r() style: edit lib/config.h manually!

but it continues and compiles just fine.
