I see. I assumed that BUILD, HOST and TARGET are used as in autoconf but
it seems it is different with gnustep-make.

I'm not sure I'm asking the right questions ;-) as it is a long time I had
time to look at GNUstep closely enough.

OK. In autoconf it is called --host, as --target is only used when
crosscompiling a compiler. (By the way I think --target defaults to --host
in this case.) So with autoconf you would do configure --host=xxx
--target=yyy when crosscompiling a compiler while gnustep-make appears to
have no direct support for crosscompiling compilers. Is this correct?
