When trying to build 2.4.4c1 with cross-compiling, I get the following 
error.

checking for /dev/ptmx... configure: error: cannot check for file 
existence when cross compiling

./config.log:configure:20566: checking for /dev/ptmx
./config.log:configure:20572: error: cannot check for file existence 
when cross compiling

This does not occur with 2.4.3.
