This is not true. Akim committed the patch without updating the
documentation. Now, --build is guessed unless explicitly specified.
If --host is specified but --build isn't, we'll enter
cross-compilation mode if an executable generated by the compiler
can't be run. If both --host and --build are specified, and they're
different, we enter cross compilation mode unconditionally. If
they're equal, or not specified, we will reject a cross compiler.

Why?!?
