Allow CHOST to override the gcc -dumpmachine output. This allows to
use the target autodetection code when cross compiling by setting the
CHOST variable.
On Gentoo, we would like to support easy cross-compilation, and for
libvpx this would basically mean copying the code in
build/make/configure.sh to setup the right --target option. It seems a
lot easier to let it guess by itself.
Another option I considered was using CROSS-gcc instead but this would
not work for our multilib setups: They use gcc -m32 to build 32bits
binaries and gcc -m32 -dumpmachine will output the 64bits version,
which would then make libvpx wrongly believe it is building for a
64bits architecture.
