Details

Actually, we need --without-libIDL for cross compiling environment. Because HOST_LIBIDL uses PKG_CHECK_MODULES(HOST_LIBILD, ...). This is bad for cross compiling. Since PKG_CONFIG_PATH sets for target pkg-config, we canoot use --without-libIDL for cross. We should respect HOST_LIBIDL_CONFIG if available. If fix this, it is more easy to build cross compile environment simply. (It is unnecessary to set --without-libIDL!)
fwiw, I'd love to 'fix' this by finishing pyxpidl and dropping the binary xpidl and libIDL dependency completely.
By bug 687766, libidl gone away.
