PATCH 1/2 jimtcl: explicitly set --host / --build

Fixes:
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/d13/d137680bf1c0ebfacef635cb2f0fc14524759143/

Otherwise the (handwritten) configure script uses a config.guess script from 2010 to figure out the build host, breaking builds on ppc64le hosts.

The result of --host / --build is only used to detect if we are building for Windows or not, which is why things are working on x86(-64) build hosts without specifying --host even though we are cross compiling - But this may change in the future, so we better pass the correct values.

For consistency with pkg-autotools, perhaps you should specify --target as well?

--target is only for cross compilers, and the configure script (or rather system.tcl) doesn't accept it:

Error: Unknown option --target
Try: 'configure --help' for options

So committed as is, thanks.

PATCH 2/2 usb_modeswitch: explicitly set --host / --build for the embedded jimtcl

Passing extra jimtcl configure flags is unfortunately not forseen in the usb_modeswitch Makefile, so add a small patch making this possible.

Gaah, this is missing the usb_modeswitch.mk hunk. Will resend.
