I don't know anything about cross-compiling Erlang/OTP,
but the error you quote indicates that the generated
erts/emulator/$target/opt/plain/beam_opcodes.h file
does include HiPE opcodes, which doesn't happen when
one does a native --disable-hipe build in a pristine
source tree.

I suspect you did your build in a dirty source tree
where a HiPE-enabled build had already been attempted.

Try a 'make eclean' to wipe out most generated files
from erts, followed by ./configure and make.
