problem configuring dhcp-4.0.0 in cross build

Hi,

I am attempting to build dhcp-4.0.0 for a PowerPC target system on a
linux X86 build system (fairly recent Redhat distro). When I do the
./configure it terminates with the following:

checking for library containing inet_ntoa... none required
checking for library containing inet_aton... none required
checking for library containing regcomp... none required
checking for library containing if_nametoindex... none required
checking for /dev/random... configure: error: cannot check for file
existence when cross compiling
make[1]: *** [dhcp-4.0.0/config.h] Error 1

Web references I have found mention the following:

	./configure .... --with-randomdev=

but including --with-randomdev= on the command line to configure results
in the same error.

Any clues to getting past this problem?

Thanks,

Jeff Haran
