The configure.ac ends up running AC_CANONICAL_HOST because it uses
different manpage sections for Solaris and everything else.

I think they should be using AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM, but that calls
AC_CANONICAL_HOST anyway so that wouldn't achieve anything.

So, extend my patch, or intrusively patch out the documentation build
code in xkeyboard-config.
