I don't see any easy workaround, as gtk-update-icon-cache depends
on the gdkpixbuf library.  Gtk+ is not the first to have this
problem, many projects do not support cross-compiling from CVS
checkout.  An ugly workaround is to import gtkbuiltnicache.h into
CVS, but I doubt that's going to happen.

What you can do is to first build the CVS checkout for your local
host, then reconfigure it for cross-compiling.
