I guess the idea of doing a 32 bit test if the 64 bit code fails is probably a sensible one. The CPUID should still be returned correctly.
I too don't want to work around every broken system. However this is a case that GMP gets right and we don't, so I would say we should fix it. Do you want to mimic what they do and we'll see if that works? If you like we can do a 1.1.1, fix the Windows issues once Brian gets to that and fix this issue and the test for stringinzing. Does configure set the define for that before config.guess is run? It looks like it is later in the configure run to me. I'll check out this pentium-D failure and see what is going on. If something needs fixing in 1.1.1 for that I'll commit that too. We should have access to a new Sun server machine in the Sage lab here and I am guessing we'll be able to test on it. Despite being a T2000 or something like that, it is not part of SkyNet.
