You don't have to actually remove the need to run executables entirely, you
just have to make sure the executables are built with the correct compiler:
executables which run at build time have to be built with the native host
compiler, not the target cross-compiler. If the executables are needed both at
build time and at run time, they have to be built twice, once with the native
compiler and once with the cross-compiler.
But if the executables are part of configure checks, then the correct solution
is to provide a sane default for those checks for the cross-compilation case.
