dateutils fails to cross build from source, because it attempts to run a
number of tools that it built for the host architecture. Such tools need
to be built for the build architecture instead. I'm attaching a patch
that changes the compiler to the build architecture one for those.
Please consider applying it. You'll also need to depend on
autoconf-archive or embed AX_CC_FOR_BUILD in the source.

Hmm, after applying the patch, the build fails with something like:

   Makefile:738: *** Recursive variable 'CC' references itself (eventually).  Stop.

and I have no idea why :-(
