To me that's a bug which would be revealed by this patch, but it's a
bug in `configure.in'. Must we be bugward compatible? If so, we can
set host to host_alias at the end of the handling of the options, but
I'd rather not, since this is wrong from the semantics point of view:
this would not be the right value of `host', and it would change right
after AC_CANONICAL is called.
