No problem, just replace all occurances of gcc with 
arm-angstrom-gneabi-gcc (same for g++, ld, strip, ...).

Personally I use a combination of autoconf and hand-written makefiles 
(no automake), but I see no problem doing the same thing without autoconf.
What I do is just setting a HOST variable in the makefile, and then 
compile using $(HOST)-gcc, and putting all target files into the 
bin.$(HOST) directory.

Most libraries are in 
/usr/local/openmoko/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib. If some are 
missing, you can just install them on the host using "./configure 
--prefix=/usr/local/openmoko/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr 
--host=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi; make; make install".
