[readline, djgpp] Check $build_os instead of $host_os in configure

[readline, djgpp] Check $build_os instead of $host_os in configure

[Yao Qi]

Hi,
When I configure gdb as '--host=i586-pc-msdosdjgpp --target=i586-pc-msdosdjgpp'
on x86-linux, I get following configure error in readline.

   readline/configure: line 6268: pwd.exe: command not found

Looks like the configure script should check $build_os instead of
$host_os.  This patch is to fix this problem.  Is it OK?

Note that I am not sure that AC_CANONICAL_BUILD is necessary here, because
after I add it in configure.in, the re-generated configure is nearly
unchanged.

readline:

	* readline/configure.in: Invoke AC_CANONICAL_BUILD.
	Change $host_os to $build_os.
	* readline/configure: Regenerated.

Thanks.

We'd like to avoid accumulating more local readline patches.
Can you submit this upstream first (bug-readline at gnu.org) ?
Once it gets accepted upstream, we can apply it locally as well.

you should post it first to:
	bug-readline@gnu.org


Thanks,
Jan

Sure.  I intended to submit this patch to readline upstream, but after looking 
for a dev mail list and source code in version control for a while on readline 
website, I am a little confused, and post patch here :)

'bug-readline at gnu.org' is the right place to go.  Thanks for your pointer.  
I'll post it there.

Fine with me, if you need my approval.
