So don't use --host at all.  The mere fact that you do indicates that 
you are cross-compiling.  If I'm on host foo (and host meaning what is 
defined by config.guess and config.sub) and specify host bar then I'm 
cross-compiling binaries for use on host environment bar.  If I'm on 
host foo and specify host foo then I'm cross-compiling binaries for use 
on host environment foo.  Using --host is treated the same regardless of 
which host the binaries are for and the configuration process prepends 
the host name to the tool to build for host.  I.E.: --host=foo uses 
foo-gcc and --host=bar uses bar-gcc.
