As far as I know, ./configure script is generated with GNU Autoconf. I don't know about Autoconf at all. How do these tools work, and how can I use this ./configure script to make source to cross-compile?

This is a pretty good little article to read on how to cross-compile: http://linux.bytesex.org/cross-compiler.html.

The main part in cross-compiling is setting the configure flags for the compiler to poinst to the target architecture and platform:

./configure --target=sparc-linux --with-gnu-as i486-redhat-linux

This might be outdated (modified copy & paste from that article), but the same concept still applies.
