I'd like to maintain config.guess by simply copying the `official' one
from autoconf, without any modifications.
That would imply a veto of your patch.
Yes, I know! We had this discussion before. But you are talking about
'config.guess' which already recognizes hppa2.0{w,n} platforms since a
few revisions. I am talking about adding hppa2.0{w,n} platform to
'config.sub'. At the moment you can have 'config.guess' determine your
architecture but when configure double checks it finds those two not
listed in 'config.sub'.
Here's the current diffs between ours and the official ones. They
seem
to have hppa2 support. I propose we try upgrading to the new
config.guess and config.sub and see what breaks.
Yup! We are a little bit out of sync. As I believe this due to the
fact that hasn't been a official release recently.
Perhaps you could try this yourself? If you report success, then we
do the upgrade. You might have to tweak configure.in as well.
I'll try and see what's left in my memory on autoconf/m4.
But again what typical string for the -KERNEL- part look like?
