[Buildroot] Help needed with cross-compiling libotr

Hello all

I have been trying to cross-compile libotr package that makes it possible,
with the help of pidgin-otr plugin, to send encrypted messages with
Pidgin IM software
(which I already have successfully cross-compiled for buildroot and plan
to submit soon).

Now, the problem is that no matter what I do that damn package picks
"-I/usr/include" somewhere
and the build will fail complaining about undefined reference to
__isoc99_sscanf (which it picks wrongly from
host system stdio.h).

Several remakes, autoreconf and configure switche changes and still no
closer to success.

Even grepped the source for -I/usr/include and the only place it shows
it is from
something called oldinclude from configure file...

Im totally lost here.

Could somebody more knowledgeable about autoconf/make please take a look
of this package ?
It's not big and the only dependencies it needs are libgcrypt and
libgpg-error

It can be downloaded from here:
http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/pidgin-otr-4.0.0.tar.gz

And here are my unworking Config.in and libotr.mk so far

config BR2_PACKAGE_LIBOTR
    bool "libotr"
    select BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGRCRYPT
    select BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGPG_ERROR
    help
      libotr

Thank you!
