As long as we say "documented" in quotes :-). Here's the output for
"configure --help" for these options:
System types:
--build=BUILD configure for building on BUILD [guessed]
--host=HOST cross-compile to build programs to run on HOST [BUILD]
--target=TARGET configure for building compilers for TARGET [HOST]
There's no specification for the format or content for these options. By the
way, the fundamental problem seems to be the lack of an entry containing
"ppc64le" for ${UNAME_MACHINE} in the big case-statement. netperf.org is still
down so I can't check to see if this has been corrected in newer versions of
config.guess.

The --build, --host, --target options are configure options which cause
config.guess to not be executed. They are documented with ./configure
--help.
