When you're cross compiling, you usually want to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH
appropriately for the configure invocation. This is probably the issue.

Failing that, can you do

PKG_CONFIG_PATH="<wherever you installed the cross built
dbus>/lib/pkgconfig" pkg-config --cflags --libs "dbus-1 > 0.35"

and paste the result into a mail?
