Error cross compiling glib to ARM

[Joyce Tan <blutot yahoo com>]

Hi, 

Im trying to cross compile to ARM glib-2.0.4 and i get
this error saying "cannot run test program while cross
compiling".  Can anyone please tell what i'm doing
wrong.  Thanks, i would really appreciate your help.
This is how i entered configure
./configure --host=arm-linux --build=i686-linux
--prefix=/usr/local/arm/armglib/output
--libdir=/usr/local/arm/2.95.3/arm-linux/lib
--includedir=/usr/local/arm/2.95.3/arm-linux/include/

This are the output msgs
