Description: When *accidently* trying to cross-compile (for example with automation scripts) from one arch to the same it will error out with a non-descriptive error:
`XBPS_CROSS_TRIPLET is not defined`

I think it would be good to check if both `arch`s are equal and then error out displaying a msg that it's not allowed.

Comment:
@xtraeme @Chocimier At this point I'd just check if both ARCHs are equal and then exit with RC != 0. If that is fine I'll open a PR.

Comment:
Would it be possible to make it just work ? Would that be expensive (hard to do, maintenance, etc.) ?

Comment:
We do not have such compilers, and there is no benefit of cross-compiling to native architecture as we use chroot.

By now error message is better:

    => ERROR: cross-x86_64-linux-gnu-0.35_3: Can't build crosstoolchain to itself

Closing.
