apple: build.sh: only set --build triplet on Darwin

When cross-compiling from Linux with xcode-cross, the clang wrapper
reports a darwin build triplet even though the build machine is Linux.
This causes libtool's max_cmd_len detection to run sysctl kern.argmax,
which doesn't exist on Linux, leading to:
  libtool: line 11569: test: : integer expression expected

Only set VLC_BUILD_TRIPLET on Darwin and conditionally pass --build to
configure, letting config.guess auto-detect the build system on Linux.
