System types:
 --build=BUILD     configure for building on BUILD [guessed]
 --host=HOST       cross-compile to build programs to run on HOST [BUILD]
 --target=TARGET   configure for building compilers for TARGET [HOST]

--target only really applies if you're building things like compilers.
 --build is auto-detected.  --host should be the only thing you need
to set.

What you're telling configure is that you want to build something like
a compiler that runs on i686 and produces binaries for arm-linux.

Try:

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