[gentoo-dev] [Bug 89729] configure always print a warning message about possibly mistaking build system type

Who's bug is this? I was going to bounce it back to bug-wranglers, but I'm 
guessing it would just bounce around after that. What's the cause? CHOST? If 
someone wants to take ownership, go for it.

Yep, that's CHOST. More specifically, it's caused by including CHOST but
not including CBUILD in /etc/make.conf (since they are translated to the
--host=* and --build=* configure options, if specified), and adding
CBUILD to /etc/make.conf will make the warning go away. Perhaps
make.conf.example (that's provided by portage, right?) should include
CBUILD, assuming it doesn't cause problems?

i'm afraid the possibility of users botching this makes it not worth the 
effort

better to keep the definition of CBUILD 'hidden' from most eyes

As a user, I had the same thought.  Why not have portage set it
appropriately unless the user has explicitly defined it?  That of course
is making the assumption that someone who has explictly set the CBUILD
variable knows what they are doing, since they had to go through the
trouble of learning about it and the fact that they could set it.

Already done about an hour ago. :)
