Problem with cross-compiling CUPSfor ARMprocessor

[Tom Morrison]

As a follow-up (waiting for some help on 1.5.3), I tried CUPS 1.4.5, and
I have been able to build ipptest and run partially (still waiting for
my wireless printer) and it doesn't segfault.

I assume I can use ipptest the same way as ipptool and send that to my
wireless printer (via ad-hoc network).
