No, it's not. If we could block the `--build` flag, we would. This is the built-in autoconf target/host/build system, that messes with the structure we use in OpenJDK (since we do not do canadian cross builds).

So if you need to add configure option, this would be the correct one.

However, we should be able to figure this out by ourselves. This can be solved by a patch in `config.sub` and/or `config.guess`.
