Its seems like i was passing wrong parm values to the configure scripts, so it always considered as native build rather than the cross build. I made some changes to the parms and it was able to generate the make file for cross build

./configure -Dsysroot=/opt/qnx6 -Dcc=arm-unknown-nto-qnx6.6.0eabi-gcc --target-tools-prefix=arm-unknown-nto-qnx6.6.0eabi- --target=arm-unknown-nto-qnx6.6.0eabi --host=arm-unknown-nto-qnx6.6.0eabi -Dprefix=$HOME/localperl

The make run fine for some time and end up having following error , where it says undefined references to certain functions

chmod 644 "PPPort.bs"
arm-unknown-nto-qnx6.6.0eabi-gcc --sysroot=/opt/qnx660/target/qnx6 -Wl,-E -o perl perlmain.o libperl.a

could it be because i might have referenced wrong path for libraries in -Dsysroot option?
