I am trying to compile NetworkManager 1.12.0 for armhf using an amd64 install 
of Ubuntu 17.10 and building the ARM software using buildroot.  During the 
configure step, I am getting the following error:

checking for /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts... configure: error: cannot check 
for file existence when cross compiling

This was not an issue with NetworkManager 1.10.8 which compiles fine with the 
same build environment.

I did some digging and it looks like the use of AC_CHECK_FILE in the 
configure.ac file will cause cross compile errors like this.  See the following 
mailing list entry from autotools:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2000-10/msg00018.html

Best regards,
Matthew Starr
