./configure does not recognize --build option anymore on Modules 4.5.2

[xdelaruelle]

Starting version 4.5.2, the ./configure script raises error when standard options like --build or --host are set:

$ ./configure --build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu
ERROR: Unrecognized option `--build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu'
  Try `./configure --help' for more information

RPM spec files using %configure macro hit this issue.
