There is one open bug
(https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10567) related to
cross-compiling (with a patch included). Fixes this problem:
checking for /proc/sys... configure: error: cannot check for file existence when
cross compiling
If you''re trying to run the 1.6 betas, there are some more fixes.
