[PATCH] Add --with-cross configure option to force -DCROSS_COMPILEbehavior

[Dan Kegel <dkegel at ixiacom dot com>]

When host != target, gcc's configure carefully avoids letting the
build environment leak into the generated toolchain.  This is good.
Unfortunately in the Linux From Scratch world, even though host = target,
we still need to avoid letting the build environment leak into the new toolchain.

(See http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/lfs-support/2003/03/0269.html
for an example of a user running into trouble with this issue.
http://linuxfromscratch.org/~greg/pure_lfs.txt even recommends
patching gcc/Makefile.in to remove the call to fixinc.sh!)

I also had trouble with the current behavior when I was trying to
test a crossgcc build script.  (I only had x86's handy, but I wanted
the toolchain to be built with all the quirks of a cross-compiler,
and gcc's configure script wouldn't let me do it.)

Thus it would be handy to be able to build a cross compiler even though host = target.
Here is a small patch that adds a --with-cross option that does just that.
It's been lightly tested, in that configuring with --with-cross let me
build an x86 -> x86 cross-compiler, which I couldn't do before.
This is against gcc-3.3.  Comments welcome...

	* configure.in: add --with-cross to force is_cross_compiler=yes
	* gcc/configure.in: add --with-cross to force is_cross_compiler=yes,
	  test is_cross_compiler instead of host =? target.
