If we're going to do this then we might as well just use a case based
on the canonical host name.  It will be faster and easier to
understand.

A Canadian cross is when host, target, and build machines are all
different.  I'm told it was named that way because when it was
invented there were 3 major political parties in Canada.

It's a somewhat silly name (you have to explain the history of it
every time you use it), but we're basically stuck with it.
