Indeed. But there's a lot of documentation to be updated, so that
people will use --build where appropriate. And we also have to update
the top-level configure to reflect the new semantics of --build and
--host.

Except that it would get the wrong build platform if you only pass
--host, and it wouldn't have been able to guess it anyway, because
config.guess needs to compile and run programs on some platforms.
