To detect cross-compiling, the host and build platforms are compared. The `build` variable is always an output of `config.sub`, but the `host` is not. This can lead to false results. For example, on OpenBSD: - host=amd64-unknown-openbsd7.5 - build=x86_64-unknown-openbsd7.5 This change replaces the `host` variable with `canonical_host`, which is also always an output of `config.sub`. Thus, `canonical_host` and `build` are always properly comparable.
