cross compilation because configure.ac uses AC_CHECK_FILE even with --with-default-font-path parametr specified in configure call. Attached patch moves AC_ARG_WITH(default-font-path, before AC_CHECK_FILE and uses AC_CHECK_FILE only if FONT_PATH is still empty.

Thanks for the patch - if you add a "Signed-off-by" and then git send-email it to xorg-devel as described at http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches then the developers will review it & apply it quicker.
