Better use a build directory different from the installation
directory, otherwise it won't be easy to clean the build tree without
messing up with the installation.

--host is a triplet that should describe the OS and architecture of
the machine on which you're building, not the name of the machine.  If
you're not doing a cross build, config.guess should be able to figure
it out by itself, as long as you set CC to a working compiler.

Then you won't be able to build GCC without getting a pre-compiled
compiler.
