Hehe, yes -- if you haven't seen it we have a pretty interesting
configure "situation".  I'm not really happy with this...

./configure is a Guile script and it has

    (host-type (option-ref options 'host %host-type))

It does not handle cross build correctly, though.

There's also a configure.sh that's used during Guix bootstrap.  It
currently does this

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
host=${host-$($CC -dumpmachine 2>/dev/null || echo x86)}
if [ -z "$host" ]; then
    arch=${arch-$(get_machine || uname -m)}
else
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

get_machine comes from mescc-tools...Too many options?
