So you will need to set those variables in your spec file where "configure" is invoked. If a package itself is not cross-compiling friendly, you need to make it cross-compilable first. :-) If you only cross-compile one package, I suggest you read through spec file and do the job manually (untar, applying patch, configure, make, make install, etc).
