./configure \ --host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu seems to work. The --build is if we're building on the x86_64. It seems that I now need the crash utility also to be cross compiled. I dont see any cross-compile support in the crash-4.0-6.3 pkg. Any suggestions for how to cross compile the crash-4.0-6.3 for x86_64 on an x86 system. Thanks.
