how to cross compile kexec for 64b x86_64 on a 32b x86

[Srinivas Murthy]

./configure \
     --host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
seems to work. The --build is if we're building on the x86_64.

It seems that I now need the crash utility also to be cross compiled.
I dont see any cross-compile support in the crash-4.0-6.3 pkg.

Any suggestions for how to cross compile the crash-4.0-6.3 for x86_64
on an x86 system.

Thanks.
