[zeromq-dev] Cross compiling for STM32MPU - ARM

ChatGPT4 suggest using --with-sysroot and using the correct -I flags for
pointing to the correct include directories eg:

./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --with-sysroot=/path/to/arm/sysroot

This is not a specific issue with zeromq but skills about using the tools
of the trade.

Good luck,
Edwin
