Ah. Do you know where the ``official'' version of config.guess is
expected to be found?
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvs module config
Doesn't it do it already? I mean, it says i[3456]86,
alpha{,ev[5678]*}, sparc{,64,v9}, etc. Just not for all systems.
We need more. The flavour of the processor is essential for picking
the best assembly code base. `pentium2' vs. `pentiummmx' is one
example. AMD vs. Intel x86 is another.
I think it would be nice to have this kind of information printed by
config.guess. But there may be backward compatibility issues. Ben
will know what to do.

Thanks for your comment. It reminds me the old discussion of Guile and Emacs, "Nil and ()". :-) You know, "unknown" does not look good, specifically, it's unclear that it is intended or not. It would be good if we have some kind of the target like "pc". For a while, I think I use sh-pc-linux-gnu, like other GNU/Linux target. Don't do that. *-pc-* is only used for IBM PC compatible systems. On non-Intel targets, the configuration name for GNU/Linux is CPU-unknown-linux-gnu. Ian
