Hm, but that test was using the old configure code, wasn't it?

Do you think we're making a mistake if:

# Do some error checking and defaulting for the host and target type.
# The inputs are:
#    configure --host=HOST --target=TARGET --build=BUILD
#
# The rules are:
# 1. Build defaults to the current host, as determined by config.guess.
# 2. Host defaults to build.
# 3. Target defaults to host.
