Egor pointed me to 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2002-06/msg00148.html which 
says this is not possible to do directly.  They suggest you can set up a 
separate configure script so that one configure does cross-compilation 
and one configure does native compilation.   But this is way too much to 
write and maintain, so I guess we have to use one of the workarounds.
