It doesn't.  Just --host at the toplevel should work though.  The top-
level is buggy IMO.  Quote from autoconf.info:

     For temporary backward-compatibility, when `--host' is specified
     but `--build' isn't, the build system will be assumed to be the
     same as `--host', and `build_alias' will be set to that value.
     Eventually, this historically incorrect behavior will go away.

Also:

   Hint: if you mean to override the result of `config.guess', prefer
`--build' over `--host'.  In the future, `--host' will not override the
name of the build system type.
