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. :-)
