I'd just like to chime in and say that cross compilation is going to be 
a very specialized task not easily addressed here. The ppp plugin, 
rp-pppoe.so, is a little contentious since pppd ships an old outdated 
version of the plugin while rp-pppoe ships the current version, and many 
build systems are ignorant of this overlap. You should take steps to 
ensure you are using the version supplied with rp-pppoe.
