This should not happen; if you are doing your cross-compile setup
properly (using ./configure --host=mipsel-elf or something similar) then
the menuselect configure script should configure it for the host. If you
are doing your cross-compile setup the 'old' way (by overriding CC and
the like), stop doing that... the Asterisk 1.4 build process knows how
to handle a cross-compile setup by the configure script itself.
