If you supply explicit host and build to > configure it does not work. So don't do that. Specifying host is for cross-compilation. Specifying build without host is for overriding the result of config.guess (never necessary on Cygwin). See https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/Specifying-Target-Triplets.html In particular: "If you mean to override the result of config.guess, use --build, not --host, since the latter enables cross-compilation."
