Note that "configure" stores some absolute paths, that is after moving the
source tree and/or the output directory you should at least run "configure"
again. In case you didn't know, configure has the "--cross-tools-prefix"
option, so you don't need to build the cross-compilation tools again.
BTW, you can run build system tools using jam, which will automatically set
up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. E.g.:
jam -q run ":<build>makebootable" /dev/the_partition
