I would much prefer explicitly specifying that the build is cross or

But then, what if you specify --build=X --host=Y --native (with X!=Y)?
That's what diagnostics are for.
Per autoconf docs, --host is supposed to mean --cross. --native is
the absence of --host. No room for inconsistencies in options.
If it worked correctly, I doubt there would be much discussion.
It seems that configure is always trying to guess whether the
build is native or host.
