First try:

configure --target=targetname

I don't know what's so complicated about that.  After that is built up 
and works, then you can see if it differs from what you want.  If it 
doesn't you are done.  If it does, you will be able to say how.  If for 
example, you want the host system to be foo instead of 
`./config.guess`, then, you can add --host=<foo> and see if that does 
what you want...

Also, you didn't say what you tried, and what that produced and why 
that was wrong.  If you didn't try anything, then just let me recommend 
to leap into it and just try things.
