Well, that's true. NATIVE_LIB_DIRS only works for a native
configuration.
I don't understand why you need to do this in a cross-configuration.
In a cross-configuration you're in complete control of where the
libraries are installed. Why not install all the libraries in the lib
directory?
It seems a bit odd to do this through a configuration option. Where
are you going to set that option? (Maybe that was in your original
patch, which I didn't examine).
But I don't object to your patch.
