Well, we don't support JITing to a different architecture from the
host.  So, 'target' is not appropriate.  Unless you're building GCC or
Binutils, --target is mostly wrong.

>From configure --help, we get:

  System types:
    --build=BUILD     configure for building on BUILD [guessed]
    --host=HOST       cross-compile to build programs to run on HOST [BUILD]
    --target=TARGET   configure for building compilers for TARGET [HOST]

which suggests --host might be a better alternative.
