That is not a cross-compiler, you are building a cross-built native
compiler here (host=target).  To do that you already need a working
cross-compiler, so it is probably not what you intended to do.

To build a cross-compiler you should not normally give any --build= or
--host=, and instead use what is auto-detected for that.  You'll end up
with build=host: a cross-compiler.
