You just cannot execute cross-compiled code on native platform...
Also mksignames utility is built using native headers (from /usr/include),
so signal name translation is incorrect for cross-target. As I understand
now, I have to add my host type in configure.in (currently we have 'cygwin',
'mingw' and 'ix86-beos'). Issues with signal names and native code execution
could be addressed there.
