   The only point I see about it is that it *forces* configure to think
   it's being cross-compiled.  So, even if an executable appears to run,
   GCC won't assume it's not cross-compiling.

I believe we should change autoconf so that if $build and $host are
different, it assumes that it is being cross-compiled.

Given that, what does --cross add?
