Cross-Compiling BASH

How to build successfully a `bash', with other tools (expect strace) I have not so big problems.

The bash' built process has problems in configure' in a cross compiled environment.
It tries some functions via C examples, and they have difficulties to determine the
result of a compile option, as this is not native....

I tried with

	HOSTCC=gcc CC=hppa-linux-gcc ../configure --host=hppa-linux \
		 --prefix=/usr/parisc/hppa-linux 

Configure stops with:

checking for working alloca.h... yes
checking for alloca... yes
checking whether getpgrp takes no argument... configure: error: cannot check getpgrp if cross compiling

How to build a bash (I am always interested in building from the scratch (hobby)) !

With friendly regards
