The thing is that this is not a dbus question, this is an autoconf
question. I for one don't know the answer, because I've never
cross-compiled anything. But if you're doing embedded development, you
are going to have this same question about every single package that
uses autoconf. There is nothing special about dbus as far as I know.

So, I think the definitive answer should be put in the autoconf docs
(and it may well already be there).
