I am also running into the arch.h issues while attempting to build libc 
for hurd-l4, and I am considering working on building the 
cross-toolchain environment (I'm in Gentoo now so I don't have the cheap 
cross-compiler anymore). But anyways, I read your message above and 
figured I'd take a crack at the install-headers target and here's how I 
approached it.

Insert this into configure.am before the documentation checks:


# Required for making the install-headers target
AC_CHECK_PROG([CP], [cp], cp :)


Then append the following to the top level Makefile.am:

install-headers: include
   $(CP) -RL include $(prefix)

include: config.status
   ./config.status

It is sort of a kludge but it gets the job done. The main problem is 
that the source include directory doesn't even exist until you run 
configure, so its hard to specify what to copy since you don't really 
know in advance.

Hope this helps a bit.
