 5.4 Specifying the Target
 =========================
 
 By default, the `configure' script will assume that the target is the
 same as the host.  This is the more common case; for example, it leads
 to a native compiler rather than a cross compiler.
 
    If you want to build a cross compilation tool, you must specify the
 target explicitly by using the `--target' option when you run
 `configure'.  The argument to `--target' is the configuration name of
 the system for which you wish to generate code.   Configuration
 Names.
 
    For example, to build tools which generate code for a MIPS ELF
 embedded system, you would use `--target mips-elf'.
