The change in behaviour is due to changing the top level configure script from using autoconf 2.13 to autoconf 2.59. With autoconf 2.59, if you want to build a normal package--one that will run on the machine on which you are doing the build--and you want to say which host to build it for, you must use --build, not --host. All complaints should be directed to the autoconf maintainers. Ian
