I was trying to build git for MIPS. And found that configure.ac will 
compile some stuff on the host machine during configure step. So I am not 
sure how the inventor wants that it work.
My solution was to remove the parts with ac_cv_fread_reads_directories and 
ac_cv_snprintf_returns_bogus from configure.ac.

Because it seems that it is not enough to use arguments as described here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Cross_002dCompilation
.html#Cross_002dCompilation

I mean would it be possible to specifiy both from outside?

i.e.
./configure ac_cv_fread_reads_directories=yes 
ac_cv_snprintf_returns_bogus=yes ...

This should overwrite any try of test with compile, so that any cross 
compile will build.
