Cross compilation of Apache 1.3.34

Hi folks!

I have a need to run Apache 1.3.34 on an ARM based processor (Intel PXA270).
I have tried to use the "configure" script to set the arm-linux-gcc
compiler but when I run it it keeps trying to execute some programs
that it compiles during the configuration run.
This is the output I get when I try to configure the build:

gerryc@neptune:~/apache_1.3.34$ CC="arm-linux-gcc-3.3.2" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache

How is one supposed to cross-compile the Apache package for a
different target?

Any assistance will be gratefully received.

TIA
