pwgen fails to cross-build because it uses the native compiler rather
than the appropriate cross-compiler.
There is a straightforward fix for the time being: set CC. This is
technically wrong since this package uses autoconf, so we should be
using --build and --host. Unfortunately the configure script was built
with autoconf 2.13, which did not support cross-compiling properly. If
you want to do this more correctly, then I recommend making a new
upstream release built with current autotools, and then passing --build
and --host to configure as recommended in
/usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz.
* Use correct compiler when cross-building.
