Sorry, no - Common misunderstanding.

You want --host=<target-triplet>

--build=...  system you are building on
--host=...   system, the binaries to be built are supposed to run on.
--target=... system, the binaries to be built on "build", running on
             "host" are supposed to generate output for.
