Cross compiling anything is always a big pain, and most ppl think they
will just go and do it by replacing their compiler. 

There are two "recipes" that are used a lot.
The first one is to use something like qemu to be able to actually
execute the ARM binaries on you (i assume) x86 host. 
The second is the first compile everything for your x86 host first, and
than make sure the compile of the ARM version does not use
the ./gen_matypes but something like $(HOST_BUILD_DIR)/gen_matypes.

Before reinventing the wheel, you might want to take a look at things
like PTXdist or scratchbox.
