bug#342: we need to make glibc's autoconf believe that it should cross-compile

So I have been in correspondance with Daniel Jacobowitz, and he has
given some great advice.  He says that modern autoconf builds key off
of differences between --host and --build.  Since both of ours are
x86, it figures it doesn't need to bother with cross-compiling, and
makes too many assumptions about what is native.

He suggested the following examples for ways to trick autoconf into
taking the cross-compile path, which keeps glibc from doing locales
and rpcgen and lots of other bulky time-consuming stuff that we really
don't want anyway:

  ../src/configure --build=i386-pc-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
  ../src/configure --build=i686-mydesktop-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
  ../src/configure --build=i686-monkeys-linux-gnu --host=i686-bananas-linux-gnu

The --host one will show up in the built glibc, so we should probably
choose it carefully, like --host=i386-lnxbbc-linux-gnu or something.
