Subject: libgroff.am: charset.alias is created (almost empty) with
wrong value of "$HOST"

  "charset.alias" is created in

  src/libs/libgroff/libgroff.am

  with

charset.alias: $(libgroff_srcdir)/config.charset
        $(AM_V_GEN)$(SHELL) $(libgroff_srcdir)/config.charset \
            '$(HOST)' > t-$@ \
          && mv t-$@ $@

Content is:
---cut---
# This file contains a table of character encoding aliases,
# suitable for operating system 'kassi'.
# It was automatically generated from config.charset.
# Packages using this file:
---cut---

  "kassi" is the value of the environmental variable HOST, which is the
name of the computer.

  It is documented in the Makefile as being

# HOST
# `HOST' is the canonical host specification,
#    CPU_TYPE-MANUFACTURER-OPERATING_SYSTEM
# or
#    CPU_TYPE-MANUFACTURER-KERNEL-OPERATING_SYSTEM

  and should therefore have the same content as 

build_triplet = x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
host_triplet = x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

build = x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

host = x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

  or

host_cpu = x86_64
host_os = linux-gnu
host_vendor = pc

  The file "config.charset" is from GNU GNULIB, which removed it 

2018-05-19  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org> (in Changelog)

        * lib/config.charset: Remove file.
