I don't see how this could be a side effect of Dan's patch (not that I
looked very hard into it). I do know autoconf 2.5x is different from
autoconf 2.13 in this regard (see node 'Hosts and Cross-Compilation'
in the autoconf manual for the gory details), but I'd have thought
that this change would have affected us a long time ago, when the gcc
subdir switched to autoconf 2.5x. Is that not so?
