Indeed:

% uname
Linux
% install -C
install: invalid option -- C
Try `install --help' for more information.
% install --version | head -1
install (fileutils) 4.1

Yes, you want $build.

BTW $target is the platform your program should output code for,
not the platform your program should run on (this is $host).
Actually, many packages mistakenly use $target instead of $host.
(I beleive this is because the Autoconf manual shows only a
'case $target' example.)
