How to cross-compile (e.g., for ARM)

1. Add the below line into mkfs/Makefile.am:
   mkfs_f2fs_LDFLAGS = -all-static

2. Add the below line into fsck/Makefile.am:
   fsck_f2fs_LDFLAGS = -all-static

3. then, do:
   #LDFLAGS=--static ./configure \
   --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --target=arm-none-linux-gnueabi
   #make

mkfs.f2fs -l [LABEL] $DEV
