You cross compile to Darwin? From which host?
This patch seems like it would be necessary but not
sufficient, since for instance code further on in configure
tries to run sysctl to check for 32 bit or 64 bit compile,
which won't work if you're cross compiling.
Or do you explicitly pass configure a --cpu argument?
