Libtool ships with a macro AC_PROG_LD that sets $LD.  I'm not sure
though whether that's what you want.  Most likely you just want to
  ./configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi

which causes all tool checks to prefer a tool with a prefix of
  arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
