Indeed. Save when you are actually building a cross compiler you need to
specify all three:

host is the system on which the binaries will actually run.
build is the system on which the binaries are built.
target is the target ouput of the binaries.

Thanks for the independent confirmation. Wasn't sure if I was losing my
mind. Those people at RH had me unsure for a while. ;)
