 Apparently , you need  libjpeg ,probably libtiff.libpng, ...etc.  And you
should set LD_LIBRARY_PATH/PATH/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS/ properly to refer to your
cross compile environment.
 Again,  "./configure --help" will give you a list of options , you could
disable some of them , like --disable-svg --disable-wml, --disable-jit ,or
other relevant ones. I guess you should have gtk libraries for ARM as well.
