There are a few places you can have a look, but it all comes down to "you only
need to change the variables from Makefile and Makefile.inc. These can all be
overridden from the commandline, eg: GCC, RANLIB, AS, AR. Make sure you also
have a cross compiled gmp library which you need.

A good example to check out is the openwrt openswan package. It cross compiles
for mips using buildroot, but you can use buildroot for your ARM port as well.
See http://openwrt.org/

Some hints for windows cross compiling are in docs/cross-compiler.txt.
