Ok, I changed AC_CANNONICAL_HOST to AC_CANNONICAL_SYSTEM in
configure.ac and it works. However, this doesn't appear to
be the 'proper' fix because AC_CANNONICAL_SYSTEM is obsolete.
I also have tried AC_CANNONICAL_TARGET, which works.
It seems to me that AC_CANNONICAL_HOST should set $host,
so perhaps this is a bug in the Autoconf macro.
Comments?
