This mapping is done by the toplevel configure:

# Pass the appropriate --host, --build, and --cache-file arguments.
targargs="--cache-file=../config.cache --host=${target_alias}
--build=${build_alias} ${targargs}"

Strictly speaking, I think --target is undefined in the target
subdirectories.  But libstdc++-v3 has a configure.target
instead of configure.host... I assume it is an accident that they are
different.
