You have a very good point.

The only solution I can see for this problem is to have both
VAR_FOR_HOST and VAR_FOR_BUILD, instead of just VAR.  When
not cross-compiling, both would default from just VAR, if VAR is set,
but for programs that support cross-compilation, this distinction is
important, and AC_PATH_PROG just isn't enough :-(
