This is wrong. --build is the ultimate starting point. The result of the
compilation is then run on --host (which is the same as --build when the
initial compiler is a native one). Unless you are building a compiler you
are done now. Only in the case of a compiler you have another layer,
which is the --target that this just built compiler is generating code
for.
