I set the prefix to the prefix where konqueror is meant to reside on the 
system.

Doesn't then konqueror try to find the library in /usr/local/arm/lib, aqnd 
then in the usual place?

Anyway, I'd have to look at my scripts again, but I think I needed to use the 
linker options -rpath and -rpath-link.
Actually, I think I have a -nodefaultlibs in there also.

As in
LDFLAGS=-Wl,-rpath,/embedded/path/ -Wl,-rpath-link,/crosstools/path

An issue I have on a cross compiler I did not build on my own is that it 
has .la files pointing to /usr/lib for the resolution of the libraries. 
A crude but effective solution is to wipe .la files from the cross compiler 
library directories.
