Strange

The xkbcomp/cross dir is for compiling a version which is runnable on the
compile host, not the target host. The target host version is in
programs/xkbcomp. So it's absolutly necessary to link with the host libxkbfile.
If this is not available it will break.

No. You need all X11 libraries on the host system for creating some tools
which are needed for running the compile process. These are for example
xkbcomp, fc-cache and some others. If you specify UseInstalledOnCrossCompile
it should not try to compile these programs but use the installed instead.
