Check which CC is used in building. I suppose you will find
gcc is used instead of arm-linux-gcc. I think both of --host
and --build options are required to teach ./configure to work
for cross building. If you use --host only, ./configure simply
misunderstands "i am in arm-linux".

In addition to, using "--prefix=/usr/local/arm/3.4.1/arm-linux"
is not recommended, because the built binaries will lookup
files (shared libraries, configuration files, messsage catalogues,
etc etc) from /usr/local/arm/3.4.1/arm-linux on your target system.

When you execute ./configure, the environment is configured
to build on your host. It's too late to teach CC and LD.

I recommend you to learn more about how to use GNU configure
for cross building.
