samba 3.0.22 cross-compilation woes

Samba team,
I recently tried to cross-compile Samba for my router running OpenWRT.
I used this commandline to set up the environment:
CC=mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc ./configure --prefix=/tmp/samba --host=mipsel
It seems first that I am unable to specify DESTDIR to redirect make
install. Hence I explicitly specified prefix, but this is not where
the binaries will be installed on the target machine. The configure
script misdetects a bunch of things: for example, shared libraries are
supported on the target, but configure says they aren't.
Two things cause the compile to come to a screeching halt:
#1: lib/time.c fails to compile since configure fails to define
HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY_TZ. This can be solved by explicitly defining
HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY_TZ in lib/time.c
#2: The conditional statement at the end of auth/auth_script.c (#if 0
....) must be enabled for the final smbd link.
I don't know how much I can do, but I'd be happy to help out with
Samba development. I'm a self-taught C programmer; let me know if
that is anything I can do to help.
Oh, and please CC me in any replies to this message. I am not yet
subscribed to the mailing list. If there is work I am capable of
doing on Samba, I will subscribe.
