I am using linux and cross-compiling but that is not the point.  I can 
generate the same problem using any build/host/target type, even if it 
is the type of the system that I am using.

What I wrote in my last letter was just an example.  This is what I 
*actually* use (if that helps):

./configure --host=i686-mingw32msvc --target=i386-mingw32msvc 
--build=i386-linux

And the subdir configure is called with:

./configure --host=i686-mingw32msvc host_alias=i686-mingw32msvc 
--target=i386-mingw32msvc target_alias=i386-mingw32msvc 
--build=i386-linux build_alias=i386-linux

This causes the subdir configure to fail because it interprets the 
"host_alias=...", "targer_alias=...", and "build_alias=..." as host 
types.  Like I said in my last two letters, I believe this is a bug, but 
 I don't know...
