If I understand what you're doing right, you might be able to just
make sure that you have the right -L and -l args in LDFLAGS and LIBS
before you call AC_REPLACE_FUNCS.  However, even if this does work in
the normal case, depending on how AC_REPLACE_FUNCs works, this may or
may not work when cross-compiling.  I don't really have any experience
with AC_REPLACE_FUNCS in particular, so I'm just guessing here.

Hope this helps
