   So now I think we can clearly state the question:


           Should an arg to configure be considered as a --build.

I would vote no.  I agree that this is not as bad as making a
configure argument be treated as --host.  But even this change is not
fully backward compatible, as the old instructions for building gcc
with a cross-compiler were something like `configure --build=BUILD
HOST'.

I think it has been long enough since config.guess was introduced that
this need not be an issue.
