this is due to program_transform_name which is easily disabled:
    program_transform_name=

alternatively, inetutils should be fixed to not have a --target in the
first place.  a "target" makes no sense for applications that dont
generate anything, and since inetutils falls into that category, it
should have AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM changed to AC_CANONICAL_HOST in its
configure.ac.
