Exactly. $exec_prefix is already supposed to be host-specific, so you
don't need $host_alias there again. If you build bfd for other
targets, target_alias will be different from host_alias, and
everything is fine, each libbfd will be in a separate directory.
Unless you start building different libbfds for the same pair
(host,target), exec_prefix and target[_alias] should be enough to keep
them apart.
