Please bear with me, the cross-building process is new to me.

I just tried to do this for powerpc (from x86-64) and didn't manage to
create a powerpc executable for gen-posix-lock-obj.  I'm not sure what
i'm doing wrong, but below is a transcript of the full attempt,
including a demonstration that the final executable is x86-64, not
powerpc.

I suspect that the problem is related to:

   configure: WARNING: using cross tools not prefixed with host triplet

but i'm not sure how to resolve it.  I'm running debian
testing/unstable, using the standard toolchain.  Pointers to the proper
way to set up cross-compiling (if that's what i'm missing) would be
welcome.
