Gutenprint is one of those that are not cross-compile friendly (after
taking a brief look at it).   It requires running a just built
"extract-strings" on the host, but it does not appear differentiate
between "build" and "host".  There are a couple options to get around
this.

One is to check to see this is an optional component for what it will
be used for and possible just exclude that part of the build
(extract-strings is under xmli18n, which looks like xml +
internationalization).  If you can exclude that part of the build by
using an argument to configure, this is the easiest.

The option Stuart is referring to is that some sources understand that
host are build are separate systems and allow you to pass in a
variable to the build system such as HOSTCC.  Many of the packages use
this as pointed out in a separate email.

Another option is to build and install Gutenprint as part of the host
packages (ltib/config/platforms/host/).  This will still require
modifying the build slightly to modify the call for ./extract-strings
to something that is in the path (sorry, I haven't had to do this
myself, so not sure of the requirements)
