Bug#1018046: libsocket6-perl FTCBFS: does not pass --host to configure

libsocket6-perl is built using a Makefile.PL that calls a ./configure
script. Unfortunately, that latter invocation happens to lack --host and
thus fails. Adding the --host flag is relatively easy, just figuring out
the right value is not entirely obvious. I opted for $Config{archname},
which happens to be x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi on amd64. This is not
quite what we wanted x86_64-linux-gnu, but reasonably close. It also
seems to work on armhf. Do you know a better way to acquire the
architecture name? If not, is this patch acceptable?
