[PATCH] Add --with-cross configure option to force -DCROSS_CO MPILE behavior

[Dan Kegel]

The sysroot patches look completely orthogonal to this issue.
I looked at them, and they have seem to no effect on whether a
cross-compiler is built.  I'm a bit confused about how they relate to this
issue.

If you say playing with --host and --target can do the job, ok,
I'll go give that a shot.

Thanks,
Dan

Yes, absolutely.  That should be used instead.  It does require that
$build != $target, but:

Or even subtler:
  --host=i686-buildhost-linux --target=i686-pc-linux
then later:
  --build=i686-buildhost-linux --host=i686-pc-linux
