Don't do that. Use --prefix=path-on-target (E.G. /usr) and then pass
DESTDIR=host-location-of-target-rootfs when you run make install, or
even better use one of the existing cross build systems.

I'm the maintainer of buildroot (http://buildroot.net), but I believe
just about all of them have avahi packages.
