What need to do for proceeding cross compilation?

Answer 1

Your invocation of the configure script is wrong. For cross-compilation, --host should be the prefix of your cross compiler. For instance:

 ./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabi

Moreover, you probably need to pass some options to CUPS' configure script in order to disable some components. For instance, --disable-gssapi will disable support for Kerberos and probably fix your "gss" errors.
