If the package actually cares about that, yes.  In fact most don't, so just
giving the host system name will suffice.  Of the packages that _do_ look
at the build system type, almost all of them just compare it to the host
type to work out whether they are cross-compiling or not.

>why can't/won't autoconf figure this out automatically?

Dunno.  You'd have to take that up with the autotools people.
