Pavel, I'm lost again.

It has been chosen that (?+ means defaults to)

1. build  ?= config.guess
2. host   ?= build
3. target ?= host

so this scheme will always require AC_C_BUILD whatever the CANON you
use.  Since AC_C_BUILD brings in its support for --build, it means
that as soon as you AC_CANON, you support --build.

Are you saying it is wrong?
