What kind of machine are you compiling GDB itself on?  That should be
your --build.

What kind of machine do you intend to run GDB on while you debug your
ARM programs?  That should be your --host.

Will you run GDB on the same machine as the program being debugged? 
Then your --host and --target should be the same.  If you're going to
run GDB on a different kind of machine (and debug over the network, or
over a serial line), then your --host and --target should be
different.
