I would much prefer explicitly specifying that the build is cross or native. I want to specify --cross or --native (or the equivalent).

But then, what if you specify --build=X --host=Y --native (with X!=Y)?

That's what diagnostics are for.

Per autoconf docs, --host is supposed to mean --cross. --native is the absence of --host. No room for inconsistencies in options.

If it worked correctly, I doubt there would be much discussion. It seems that configure is always trying to guess whether the build is native or host.
