Setting both host and target should usually work, however IIRC there are 
a few broken configure scripts out there that set build=host if only 
host is given, later on determine that build==host, so it's obviously a 
native build and no cross compiler prefix is needed, so the host gcc is 
used.

Setting "--build=`./config.guess`" or something similar worked for us, 
at least. :-)
