I think your easiest bet by far would be to write a wrapper script for
the compiler, so that it provides the linker with the needed options
when linking is done.  Actually, this is exactly what GCC does (but it
has its spec language rather than using shell) when invoking the linker
 from the compiler driver.

Alternatively, you can probably get things to work more or less with
something like this (untested):

  CROSS_BASE=...
  export CROSS_BASE
  ./configure LIBS="-L$CROSS_BASE/libs/lib/ -Wl,-EB -Wl,-nostdlib \
                    -Wl,--whole-archive \
                    $CROSS_BASE/libs/crt0.o \
                    $CROSS_BASE/libs/crt0-qemu-debug.o \
                    -T$CROSS_BASE/build/linker-qemu.lds \
                    -Wl,--start-group,-lcrt0,-lc,-ldebug,--end-group"

Hope that helps.
