No, cross compile is very normal, its expected to work fine by just
setting the triplets, that is what autotools is great for. You are cross
compiling as long as host != build. Setting --host without setting
- --build is assumed to be cross compile.

What GMP is doing is not normal, the way it uses those triplets. IMHO
they should really be using --with-arch or some such to set the CPU insn
levels.

I suppose you want to set both --build and --host to be equal to each
other when doing GMP.
