It turned out to be my mistake that I did not distclean after I changed the
build configuration. The bigger problem is that when I cross-compile the
source tree, it actually runs bifcl command in the building host (where
compiling is done) with broker-dummy/store.bif.. However, the build is done
using target platform, which is different from the building host. I am not
very familiar with bro yet.. so I am not sure what this actually does.. can
you please help me to understand the process or provide documents if any.
Regardless, I will keep looking.

thanks,
