In this instance, it doesn't matter what you use for target.  Glibc doesn't 
look at the "--target" setting; it only really cares about "--host".  (It looks 
at --build too, but only to decide whether it's the same as the host or not so 
it can tell whether you are cross-compiling.)

But he's not building a compiler, he's building the C library.
