[LLVMdev] Specify the default target when configuring LLVM

[Robinson, Paul]

I'm pretty ignorant about configure but our top-level makefile has
  configure --target=your-default-triple [other stuff...]
We also specify --host and --build which I'm not entirely clear on 
whether they're necessary (don't know if/how these three interact).
