My point was not for "rb" in particular - you're quite right - but just
correcting Joel's statement about the existance of --build/--host
users.  If we had some need to autoconf for this and just default it to
"rb", that would be in practice OK (though autoconf tests with
cross-build defaults are EVIL INCARNATE).
