I suspect you need to change the path you supplied from:
   opt/FriendlyARM/toolschain/4.4.3/bin
to:
   /opt/FriendlyARM/toolschain/4.4.3/bin

The FriendlyARM forum might be better suited for cross compiling issues 
with CUPS, but some people on that forum have managed to cross compile 
earlier versions of CUPS, see:

Once you've built cups-1.6.2, you may also need to build the 
cups-filters package which has the filters for linux, with cups 1.5.x 
and earlier, the cups-filters package isn't required.



Cheers,
Doug
