You seem to use a cross compiler. That prevents autoconf from detecting the 
byte-order, as to do so a small program has to be run that can't be run 
because you use a cross compiler....

The solution is to tell configure the byte order of your platform - by using 
CONFIG_SITE and AFAIK the variable ac_cv_c_bigendian.

Google a bit and you will find it.
