Cross-compiling POV-Ray might be tricky: To my knowledge, the 
./configure script tries to compile, link /and/ run various short test 
programs with the chosen settings to see whether everything works as 
expected, and/or to auto-detect which settings it needs to use. 
Obviously, if those test programs are cross-compiled for a different 
target they won't run on the machine you're compiling on, and 
./configure will think something went wrong, and/or will be unable to 
auto-detect certain settings. Maybe this is what's happening to you there.
