Not really (don't think I'd change --build but --target),
but then again Fink (or RPM) can do stuff their way...
It is my understanding that neither Apple nor MacPorts
is going to change the way they do arch/uname/config.

And I think cross-compilation is neat when compiling to
MinGW (Windows) or to Linux, but probably overkill just
for building some 64-bit binaries for regular Mac OS X -
whether they are thin/1 or fat/2 or obese/4 binaries ?
