cross-compile iperf from x86_64 for ARM64 target - makefile

Question

I want to cross compile iperf-2.0.5 from my x86_64 ubuntu linux machine for a ARM64 target. Therefore I installed the cross compiler:
sudo apt install gcc make gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu binutils-aarch64-linux-gnu g++-aarch64-linux-gnu
then I tried to configure:
./configure --build=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --enable-static --disable-shared
which gives me this warning: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-static, --disable-shared
apart from this warning i'm not getting any errors but I'm not sure how to verify that the build and host parameters are selected correctly.
When I run make I get the following error.
make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/recherma/Documents/iperf-2.0.5'
Making all in compat
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/recherma/Documents/iperf-2.0.5/compat'

then mv -f ".deps/delay.Tpo" ".deps/delay.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/delay.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/recherma/Documents/iperf-2.0.5'
make: *** [Makefile:190: all] Error 2
So I guess the configuration failed. Does anyone know now to configure it correctly?
EDIT:
I think --host should be changed to aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu. But this changes nothing and I get the exact same errors.

Try removing DAST_CHECK_BOOL from configure.ac and try reconfigure again.
If that didn't help, after configure, comment #define bool int in config.h and try rebuild.
