Yes, but FAFAIK there is no out-of-the-box autoconf support for it. Most
 packages I see use a construct like this (which I think is kludgy):

if test x"$cross_compiling" = xyes; then
	AC_CHECK_PROGS(CC_FOR_BUILD, gcc cc)
else
	CC_FOR_BUILD="$CC"
fi

and use CC_FOR_BUILD instead of CC for the commands. Of course, this
will not work if nih-dbus-tool would generate different code on the
build and host system; in that case the tool would have to be made
target-aware.
