Ah.

"The variables ‘build_alias’, ‘host_alias’, and ‘target_alias’ are
always exactly the arguments of --build, --host, and --target; in particular,
they are left empty if the user did not use them, even if the
corresponding AC_CANONICAL macro was run.

and "host" is the canonical form, gotcha.

But instead of that, then, which I'd call a hack, we should
instead do:

host_alias = @host_alias@
target_alias = @target_alias@
+host = @host@
+target = @target@

version.c: Makefile $(srcdir)/../common/version.in $(srcdir)/../../bfd/version.h $(srcdir)/../common/create-version.sh
	$(SHELL) $(srcdir)/../common/create-version.sh $(srcdir)/.. \
-	    $(host_alias) $(target_alias) version.c
+	    $(host) $(target) version.c

In GDB, GDBserver, and elsewhere necessary.
