Hi,
I did cross-compile libnl for ARMv5 CPU a few months ago. What you need
is a tool-chain (a gcc that runs or your computer but compile code for
target machine and the glibc).
In your Makefile or configure (I don't remember, but if you are patient
I can have a look soon), you'll have to add the tool-chain's include
file (can also tell you the path soon) to the CFLAGS variable (CFLAGS +=
-I/path/to/the/tool-chain's/include).
http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/ may help you for your tool-chain
Best regards,
Alexandre
PS: If your target machine is an ARM, I have 3 tool-chains: gcc 3.4.3,
gcc 4.1.x (fails with the weak attribute if I remember well) and gcc
4.2.x, if that's interest you...
