Cross compiling esp ghostscript

[kernel2.6 at gmx.net]

I'm trying to cross-compile espgs (with arm-linux-gcc). But during the compile, the makefiles attempt to run one of the target executables.  This
executable was compiled with the cross-compiler, so it obviously won't execute:
./obj/echogs -w ./obj/devs.tr - -include ./obj/unix_
./obj/echogs: ./obj/echogs: cannot execute binary file
make: *** [obj/devs.tr] Error 126

Is there a way to configure the espgs so that it doesn't try to execute echogs?
