I've never seen this option, and it doesn't seem to be accepted by any
autoconf-generated `configure' script.

Maybe we should not assume --build when --host is given, just warn
instead. This would work under the assumption that people running
configure interactively don't often specify --host=TRIPLET, but rather
just TRIPLET, which would work in the new set-up too. I.e., your
patch for $host_alias != $build_alias would be enough.
