Actually, every time i compiled a kernel (on Arch/Ubuntu), KBUILD_BUILD_HOST it's always <hostname>
without <domainname>, while on macOS, KBUILD_BUILD_HOST is <hostname>.<domainname>

I said it is annoying just because <hostname>.<domainname> is set on
macOS only and not on Linux (Arch or Ubuntu).

Now, it may be a "me only" problem, so i'm not sure, but from my
experience it only happens on macOS.
