Is this only failing for chroot.1, or for others, too?
I assume your cross build target platform does not support
chroot(2), and therefore the chroot executable is not built.

Did you "./configure" with "--enable-no-install-program=chroot"?

I'll have to look into the dependency details.

Thanks & have a nice day,
