no real reason. It's just that when i tried to understand how to do cross 
compilation, i added some 'echo' and they were displayed before configure 
help.

Anyway, i find more logical to know the configure options before anything 
else.

Also, adding a --host option would be difficult, instead of using CHOST ?
