config.guess makes a very good job at finding what is the tuple of the
current machine, which is the build machine. And the guess done by
config.guess is probably better than the random tuple the developer
would pass to --build.

Therefore, I would rather state that if the software package uses the
autotools system, then you should let autotools guess what's the tuple
of the build system.

Any reason not to do so ?
