When --host == --build != --target, you'll build a normal cross compiler. When --host != --build != --target, you'll have a Canadian Cross.
Ciao, --Jim--
Brian,
Don't feel bad. You aren't the first to confuse --target & --host. When they're equal, you have a normal cross-compiler, which seems to be what you want. When unequal, you're building a Canadian Cross.

OK here is where I get all confused. I am building a gcc in order to use
that gcc to build m68k-elf programs. So when I am building the gcc, my
target *should* be i686-pc-cygwin, correct? Because this gcc that I am
building will *run* on my Cygwin PC.
No, you want --target to be m68k-elf for both gcc and binutils. --target is the machine for which the output of the tool is meant to be
run. --host is the machine on which the tool itself will run. If your
'as' is targeted at i686-pc-cygwin then that's not going to work.
Once you've built and installed binutils, you should have a
'm68k-elf-as' in the path and the gcc configure should find and use it. You can override this with --with-as I think.
