Problems with dhclient arm cross compilation - arm

Question

I'm trying to connect to a wireless network from a Dart card (which is like a Raspberry Pi with a iMX6 CPU) using a WiFi dongle.
I followed the accepted answer here.
When I tried:
wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c spark_wifi.conf -D nl80211 && dhclient wlan0
I got:
sh: dhclient: command not found
So I looked for dhclient for ARM and the best I found was this
I followed the instructions but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't manage to compile it...
I am using yocto cross compiler which includes the following env variables:

I am runing:
./configure --host=arm-poky-linux-gnueabi --cache-file=config.cache
The result summery is this:
ISC DHCP source configure results:

Package:
Name: DHCP

Now you can type make to build ISC DHCP
Next thing to do is make which ends up with errors:
Making all in bind
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/user/workbench/dhcp/src/bind'
Configuring BIND Export libraries for DHCP.
configure: error: in `/home/user/workbench/dhcp/src/bind/bind-9.8.4-P2':
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details
make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user/workbench/dhcp/src/bind'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
I tired to debug this and I found that configure file contains these checks:
# There might be people who depend on the old broken behavior: `$host'
# used to hold the argument of --host etc.
# FIXME: To remove some day.
build=$build_alias
host=$host_alias
target=$target_alias
# FIXME: To remove some day.
if test "x$host_alias" != x; then
if test "x$build_alias" = x; then
cross_compiling=maybe
echo "$as_me: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used." >&2
elif test "x$build_alias" != "x$host_alias"; then
cross_compiling=yes
fi
fi
echo $cross_compiling after this part gives maybe.
I didn't manage to set $host_alias and $build_alias correctly to make this thing work.
Changing cross_compiling=maybe to cross_compiling=yes didn't work either.
It feels like I'm shaving a Yak...
I just want to connect to WiFi :)
If there is a place that I can download a dhclient binary compiled to ARM it would be great to hear.
