yes

But it is smart enough to accept specified by user compiler, linker etc:
./configure CC="ccsh -D_SH7750 -m4 -ml ..." LD="...." 
CPPFLAGS="-D_VX_TOOL_FAMILY=gnu .... -I/op..." --build=i586-pc-linux 
--host=...???...
For the host platform triplet I don't know what can be specified. May be 
something like <ARCH>-wrs-vxworks, where is <ARCH> is for processor: sh 
or sh32 or .... :) .

Also you may address cross-compilation issue to libtool mailing list. A 
quick check show that libtool will not set pic,wl and etc flags.
