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."
