As said previously, if you're cross-compiling, doing
--prefix=${PWD}/build is completely wrong. --prefix is the directory
where the software will be located when executed on the target, not the
location where the software will be installed when doing 'make install'.

Please document yourself on the difference between --prefix at
configure time and DESTDIR at install time.

Best regards,

Thomas
