Would this example work?


* To build xen and tools using a cross compiler:
./configure --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --host=aarch64-linux-gnu
make XEN_TARGET_ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
make XEN_TARGET_ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- \
        DESTDIR=/some/path install


Is --build= required or does configure detect this properly?
