No it shouldn't.  However the the compiler still should be able to create
executables if you have a full set of cross build tools.  And the ability to
create executables is necessary for the target configure code to work properly.

If you look in config.log you should see why you're getting the error. 
Unfortunately, you cut off the output, so I can't tell you which particular
config.log to look at, but it will be one from the target library build
directories.
