Well, I hear you Pavel.  I'm going to rewrite my patch, and submit
it.  It will try to warn when --host, --build or --target is used when
it is not supposed to be.

I don't think dying is right: up to now the tradition in Autoconf has
always been ignore what could make sense in another ./configure even
if not the current one.

But I do understand that the present case is somewhat different, and
if knowledgeable people agree it should die, I will follow you, of
course.

I have one question.  It seems to me that --build always makes sense.
Still, should it be ``accepted'' only when some AC_CANONICAL_stuff was
required?
