I've been busy lately, and haven't been building betas since
21.0-b48.
Couple days ago I noticed that 21.0-b57 did not configure in
alphaev56-dec-osf4.0d:
---Clip---
triton 15:33 /proj/ave/xemacs/build/alpha-dec-osf4.0 % ../../xemacs-21.0-b57/configure
'--compiler=cc' '--cflags=-O2 -inline speed' '--gung-ho'
'--prefix=/usr/local/xemacs' '--debug=no' '--error-checking=none'
'--use-union-type' '--srcdir=../../xemacs-21.0-b57'
'--site-includes=/usr/local/include' '--site-libraries=/usr/local/lib'
checking host system type... alphaev56-dec-osf4.0d
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking the configuration name
Invalid configuration `alphaev56-dec-osf4.0d': machine `alphaev56-dec' not
recognized
---Clip---
Today I had time to investigate it and I found out that this
problem is there starting from 21.0-b50. I guess that following
ChangeLog entry for 21.0-b50 tells why:
+1998-07-18 SL Baur <steve(a)altair.xemacs.org>
+
+ * config.guess: Synched with latest FSF version.

I am aware of this problem and just re-submitted the patch for it last
week. It was actually an old patch that got lost (twice). It's only a
single asterisk that must be added to config.sub.
Here is the patch:
*** ../utils/xemacs-21.0/config.sub Thu Sep 10 17:06:44 1998
--- config.sub Tue Sep 29 07:19:15 1998

Hopefully it will make it to the base code soon. configure and
config.guess were synced with FSF, but config.sub was not. :-(
