Overriding the host is really only necessary for a few programs like 
gcc. Most
will work fine with musl, even though they detect your system as 
"i686-pc-linux-gnu".
That said, if you want to use --host on all of your programs, all you 
need is a
patch like the one here[0]. There are four or five different variations 
of the patch
though, depending on what version/configuration of autotools the project 
uses.
