I guess not many have tried it. Something like this could work:

./configure --host=arm-linux

This works for me until linking as I do not have libncurses on my build
system right now.

On the other side you could just take a prebuild version from Debian, if
you can fullfil the dependencies (glibc, ncurses).
Get http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/minicom/minicom_2.1-8_arm.deb
extract it with "ar x minicom_2.1-8_arm.deb", and then tar xzvf
data.tar.gz, the usr directory then will contain the binary.
