I think you mean "I tried to cross-build geos for arm on an amd64
machine", not that you "failed to build it **on** arm.  Please be far
more specific about what you actually did.

This doesn't make sense - if you are crossbuilding you should be
installing into an alternate DESTDIR, not the build system root.

Please explain what other programs you successfully built and ran using
this cross toolchain before you tried geos :-)   Please explain where
your cross toolchain is and how you built it or got it.

It would help to post your entire build log.  It's quite possible that
there are makefile bugs where the cross tools are not used when they
should be.  But basically you'll probably have to debug this yourself.
