Please don't use --target. Only --host.

Then try ./configure ... --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi
I expect in /opt/arm-2009q1/bin you to find a number of executables 
prefixed by arm-none-linux-gnueabi- , as exemple 
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc . So before to run configure set PATH
PATH=/opt/arm-2009q1/bin:$PATH
export PATH
