Do not try to parse the options for --build and --host arguments

Formerly the code assumed the arguments to be triples and threw an
error if this was not the case. But those arguments are only there for
compatibility with autotools and are not used within the build system,
so just dropping the code parsing these values makes the build system
more robust.
