It seems not a great idea to me to use different sources of truth about build
target. And I think it's not hard to get the actual host_os and MSYSTEM to
disagree:
- afaics it's quite possible to run configure outside of a login msys shell
- you could do an msys build in a ucrt shell, but specify --host=x86_64-pc-msys,
or the other way round
There's probably also some stuff about cross building from linux, but that
doesn't matter much, because right now wine doesn't get through even the base
regression tests (although it gets through initdb these days, which is nice).
