I built hsdis with the following parameters from source code of binutils while cross-compiling:
```
--with-hsdis=binutils \
--with-binutils-src=/home/dingli/jdk-tools/binutils-2.38
```

But configure will exit with the following error:
```
checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/home/dingli/jdk-tools/binutils-2.38-src':
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details
configure: Automatic building of binutils failed on configure. Try building it manually
configure: error: Cannot continue
configure exiting with result code 1
```

The reason for the error is that binutils wants to be configured with --host during cross-compilation. So we can determine if we are currently cross-compiling and add the --host parameter to binutils_target:
```
diff --git a/make/autoconf/lib-hsdis.m4 b/make/autoconf/lib-hsdis.m4

In the meantime, I removed some useless code about hsdis-demo because hsdis-demo.c was removed in JDK-8275128 .
