It's been true for a while that if host_alias != target_alias, the
default for program_prefix is "${target_alias}-". That is true of
autoconf 2.13, for example. Are you saying that autoconf 2.5x sets
program_prefix whenever target_alias is set, even if it is the same as
host_alias? I think that would be a bad change, as it makes it much
harder to configure an entire tree correctly.
