1. If you want to work without --host, install gcc-symlinks and
binutils-symlinks.

2. Probably all .la files are broken. Search for all occurrences
of /home/koen and replace them with correct paths.

Correct. In UNIX user does not have privileges to install to system
paths. Either configure with e. g. --prefix=$HOME/.local (and set proper
PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and maybe PKG_CONFIG_PATH, XDG_DATA_DIRS in
your .profile) or use su -c "make install".
