I stand corrected, indeed 'host' does correspond to the destination
architecture that is being built for, vs. 'build' for the host that is being
used to cross compile from. I apologize for the confusion, I think I have
gotten too used to building various cross gcc compilers (where host==build,
but target==something else) that I forgot how autoconf really works.
Reading the man page helped too. :-)
