Yes, you need to add --with-yielding_select=yes.
(Or no, depending on what select() does on the target platform.)
./configure normally runs a set of tests to figure all of this stuff out,
but those tests
need to run on the target and not on the build platform when
cross-compiling. If you
don't already know the right answers, run ./configure on the target platform
and use
those results when cross-compiling from a faster platform.

================================
Just what I needed to know, Chuck. Running .\configure on the Raspberry Pi,
and saving the output shows three separate lines saying:
checking if select yields when using pthreads... yes
so I guess I need "yes". Quite why configure needs to check this three
times, on an already very slow RPi PC, is a mystery!
