This would be nice, yes. In fact these are needed also if we need to run a
program on the build platform to generate some of the sources that will be
compiled for the host platform, like all the genxxxxx programs in gcc :-)
The way I've coped with that IIRC was to hardwire CC_FOR_BUILD to be "gcc"
but that only worked because the progs I had to compile for the build system
were very simple, and do not need any autoconf-iguration :-)
