 If you only specify @samp{--host}, @code{configure} will prepare for a
 native compile but use what you specify instead of guessing what your
 system is. This is most useful to change the CPU submodel.  For example,
-if @code{configure} guesses your machine as @code{i586-pc-linux-gnu} but
-you want to compile a library for 386es, give
-@samp{--host=i386-pc-linux-gnu} or just @samp{--host=i386-linux} and add

 If you specify just @samp{--build}, @code{configure} will get confused.
