There are only two changes required to allow easier cross-compiling. Add AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to configure.in then correct the include/builddefs.in file to specify the top directory.
Once those are done, a few tweaks to debian/rules is sufficient.

It's then probably best to run:
libtoolize
aclocal -I m4
autoconf
within the build so that the distributed tarball contains the updates
from these programs. That will reduce the .diff.gz which is always
handy.
