Use test -e instead of AC_CHECK_FILE for cross building.

Patch by Helmut Grohne helmut@subdivi.de for Debian bug #941402 [1].

memtailor fails to cross build from source, because it abuses
AC_CHECK_FILE. The macro is meant to check for files on the host system,
but memtailor uses it to check for files expected on the build system.
Please use a simple test -e for the latter. Please consider applying the
attached patch.

@d-torrance Sorry, I had not noticed this pull request. Do you have other changes to make from your recent debian porting work? I will accept this pull request if it is still relevant and you are ready.

[d-torrance]

No worries!

Yes, it's still relevant. I don't have anything else. This is the only thing that's currently getting patched in the Debian package.

Thanks!

What cross-compilation are you doing, Doug?

[d-torrance]

I'm not doing any myself, but there are Debian folks that do and submit patches like this. Debian makes releases for a bunch of architectures, and I suppose it makes some sense to do some cross builds to help facilitate that. Here's a list of the various builds for memtailor: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=memtailor
