Two problems with this:

1) For example, if build is some FreeBSD and host is some Linux, then
you're not *really* cross-compiling. At least it would be an incompatible
change to the definition.

2) build and host, even when canonicalized, may be different for the same
system, yielding to gratuitous failures under your proposal.
