Please remember to cc the maintainer. There is no port called "GTK+", I'm assuming you mean gtk2.

[martijn@…]

Sorry about that. Yes it's Gtk2. Thanks

Someone pointed me to the following link, which seems to be the a similar bug (with solution) as mine.

Ok, this may be ancient news for you pros, but it took me a while to 
sort out so I thought I would share it.  If you are trying to 
cross-compiled something for one of these phones (or any cross-compiling 
for that matter) and you run across this error:

checking whether setvbuf arguments are reversed... configure: error: 
cannot run test program while cross compiling

You have to rebuild the configure script with autoconf 2.53b or later.  
I ran into this building the bash 3.1.  They used autoconf 2.53 to make 
the configure script and this bug is fixed in 2.53b.  It's actually 
somewhat of an assumption however (since it can't call a cross-compiled 
executable to see if setvbuf arguments are reversed, it assumes they are 
not).

should works now with r64762
