I don't want to discuss words. The term "cross compile" was coined at
a time when every machine had only 1 format of executables that it could
execute. Now there are two possible meanings of the term.

There's nothing fragile about it. Autoconf detects whether it can run
binaries produced by $CC or not. It's in line with Autoconf's design to
determine attributes about the build environment, so that the user does
not have to provide this information explicitly.
