The problem is not that there is a default transformation for cross compilers, but that the software package declares itself to be a cross utility. The fix is to replace all occurrences of "target" by "host". That is, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET -> AC_CANONICAL_HOST, $target -> $host, $target_os -> $host_os, and so on, in configure.ac and other build scripts in libressl.
