Why would they be doing something different?
You mean, because now they'd be considered to be cross compiling?
Hmm... I think I begin to understand why the current implementation
is as it is. If you specify TRIPLET, it will set a default for all of
build, host and target, unless they're explicitly overridden by
--host, --build or --target arguments. So why not retain this
behavior? It can be done in a much simpler way: when you encounter
any such argument, just set the host, build and target variables that
are still set to NONE.
