soundmodem fails to cross build from source, because its configure
script thinks that cross building means building for i686-pc-cygwin, but
there are many other architectures. It also thinks that during cross
building, pkg-config doesn't work, which happens to be the think that
just works on Debian. I'm attaching a patch to extend the cross build
support upstream. Please consider applying it.
