All I can offer is my understanding of the logic that's already there. 
--with-cross-host is only set by the toplevel if what we are BUILDING
(not using) is a cross compiler.  This precisely disagrees with the
comment in the toplevel configure.in:

# Passing a --with-cross-host argument lets the target libraries know
# whether they are being built with a cross-compiler or being built
# native.  However, it would be better to use other mechanisms to make the
# sorts of decisions they want to make on this basis.  Please consider
# this option to be deprecated.  FIXME.

Who should I talk to about the toplevel script?  gcc-bugs?
