I got this off a GCC mailing list. I would prefer that we stick with
these definitions.

No there are actually three separate terms regarding three separate
machines.
1. The "target" system is the platform gcc will generate code for.
2. The "build" system is the platform where you compile gcc.
3. The "host" system is the platform where gcc executes.
When you build a regular cross compiler, the target is different but
host==build.
When you build a cross compiler *using* a cross compiler, (also known
as a canadian-cross compile) then all three are different.
