The autoconf docs say(*):
`--host=HOST-TYPE'
[...] Specifying it enables the cross-compilation mode.
It does not matter if the argument of --host equals the argument of
--build; you're still cross-compiling as far as autoconf/automake is
concerned.
Maybe you're mixing it with a different issue, involving the same
parameters:
For historical reasons, passing `--host' also changes the build
type. Therefore, whenever you specify `--host', be sure to
specify `--build' too. This will be fixed in the future.

also contains:
Emphasizes that `cross-compilation' == `--host is given'.
