Are you sure you're not just getting confused by the fact that all
arguments supplied to the top level configure script are passed on to
all sub-configures? There is nothing that I can see that would add
--target, other than the fact that you're probably supplying it at the
toplevel. I don't see how this matters anyway, as --target for a
regular library is ignored.
