Description of the change
The test configure searches for the library containing certain functions e.g. tgoto.
As part of this it adds -L/lib. If a linker that fails on accessing incorrect binaries is used this causes the configuration to fail. One solution is to use a linker which does not fail on foreighn binaries. The correct solution is to ensure foreign binaries are not encountered.

When cross building, qualify the library search directory used for linux.

This seems to conflict with the upstream intent, however, which is that -L/lib is needed on certain Linux distributions. If it's no longer needed then that part should definitely be fixed upstream.
Is it sufficient to *prepend* the cross-compilation path? i.e., have both
CF_
and
CF_
?
I also don't think we should be adding this path except in cases where we know we're cross-compiling; can you please fix this to be conditional on host != build?
