It happens to just work, because of a deprecated feature of autoconf
2.57 (--host=--build does not trigger cross compilation mode).  We
should probably tweak the toplevel anyway but I'm hoping someone else
will do it.

We could add GCC to the list.  I was rather hoping Nathanael would do
it; I'll ask him.

[I am a little worried.  I ran into what looks like a cache
incompatibility; I configured libiberty using 2.50, backed down to the
2.13 configure script, did it again, and got quoting errors in
config.cache.  But I can't reproduce it now, so I'm only a little
worried.]
