mathicgb fails to cross build from source, because it abuses
AC_CHECK_FILE to discover source files on the build machine. The macro
is meant to check for files on the host. Please use simple "test -f"
here. The attached patch makes mathicgb cross buildable. Please consider
applying it.

Thanks for the report and patch!  I've forwarded it upstream [1].
