rpm is not a cross-tool...

The patch below removes AC_CANONICAL_TARGET from configure.ac and
changes $target to $host.

Background: AC_CANONICAL_TARGET is supposed to take the target of a
cross-tool, not the target of cross-compiling a package
(== a configure script's --host).

Patch from Ralf Corsepius
