If you regenerate your configure file with a newer autoconf, that
particular message has been reworded to not sound so scary or severe; we
have conceded that some people insist on running with non-triplet-prefixed
cross-tools, at which point the burden is on the user to get the calling
conventions right.  We still recommend that you use target-triplet-symlink
names, if only to make your life with cross-compilation less prone to
unintended bugs.
