AFAICS --target was always wrong from the autoconf cross-compilation
terminology point of view. For what it does in rpm, --host would be closer to
the mark. But outside a autoconf terminology explanation, would anybody ever
guess that --host somehow relates to output architecture and stuff?
Thanks, so I'm not alone.
I do wonder how it was initially intended to work, either the `--target` option
is wrong or the `%configure` macro is...

I stumbled across an issue in relation to the %_host_* and %_target* macros
which subtly broke some builds because of armv7l/armv7hl differences. This led
me to dig into this a bit further and at this point I'm now unsure how those
macros are actually meant to be used.
