I assume you use the bundled Heimdal. I can tell you what I do:
1. do a native build on the build machine, obtain a copy of asn1_compile
and compile_et - put them somewhere (or run a native build as a pre-step
to your cross build).

2. Put the following in the environment while running configure:
USING_SYSTEM_ASN1_COMPILE=1
ASN1_COMPILE=<path-to-your>/asn1_compile
USING_SYSTEM_COMPILE_ET=1
COMPILE_ET=<path-to-your>compile_et

3. In the configure flags, use:
--bundled-libraries=!asn1_compile,!compile_et

Hope I didn't miss any ingredient...

HTH,
Uri.
