freeipmi fails to cross build from source, because configure misdetectssome
features, because it uses the build architecture cpp rather than the host
architecture one. This leads to compilation failures down the road. The
culprit is setting CPP with AC_PATH_PROG. After replacing path with
AC_PROG_CPP, the build succeeds, but the generation of manual pages now fails,
because that $(CPP) invocation assumes cpp semantics while
configure sets it to $ac_tool_prefix-gcc -E. So the attached patch also sets
up a CPP_FOR_BUILD to cover the manual pages. After applying it freeipmi cross
builds successfully. Please use it.
