 Leaving out --host does not work for cross-compiling:

rw@seven /cygdrive/c/Downloads/gnu/gdb_git/gdb/gdb/gdbserver
$ ./configure arm-unknown-linux
configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
checking for arm-unknown-linux-gcc...
/opt/crosstool/gcc-3.3.4-glibc-2.3.2/arm-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: in
`/cygdrive/c/Downloads/gnu/gdb_git/gdb/gdb/gdbserver':
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.
