We run configure for the build system in a subdirectory, when build !=
host.
# auto-host.h is the file containing items generated by autoconf and is
# the first file included by config.h.
# If host=build, it is correct to have bconfig include auto-host.h
# as well. If host!=build, we are in error and need to do more
# work to find out the build config parameters.
if test x$host = x$build
then
build_auto=auto-host.h
else
# We create a subdir, then run autoconf in the subdir.
# To prevent recursion we set host and build for the new
# invocation of configure to the build for this invocation
# of configure.
