There might be tiny differences due to differences in the way GCC was
built (so the startup files and libgcc differ), but it should be
basically the same. (It's really --host you're likely to be interested
in, though that is defaulted from --build: the host machine is used to
set the set of sysdeps directories from which source is acquired during
building.)
