Hmmm, looks like the configure script is failing because the conftest program
it makes crashes:

...

configure:3012: $? = 0
configure:3019: ./conftest
./configure: line 3021: 4085 Segmentation fault
./conftest$ac_cv_exeext
configure:3023: $? = 139

You might try running
autoreconf
and then rerunning
./configure

Cheers.

Thanks for the speedy response Mike! That still throws the same error for me after autoreconf

I can get it to run using

./configure --host=arm

But then I get a failing test after sudo make check:
