Cross compiling can be a pain in the butt.  To do what you want
you will either need to hack up the configure script to provide
sane defaults when tests cannot be run, or you can do the easy
thing -- download (or build using buildroot) a uClibc x86
development system.  Then chroot into it and compile up BIND 9.3
inside the chroot.
