One comment... To cross-compile, you should specify both --build and --host.
--build is easy. config.guess gives that triplet:

   $ find /usr/share -name config.guess
   ...
   /usr/share/autoconf/build-aux/config.guess

   $ /usr/share/autoconf/build-aux/config.guess
   x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

--host is the trickier one. There is no list of cross-compile triplets.
