That is a bug in config.sub (config.guess?). Could someone please
fix that damn bug?
Thanks.

That is a bug in config.sub (config.guess?). Could someone please
fix that damn bug?
Someone should update config.guess and config.sub from the master
version. The *libc1 stuff is back now, and config.guess returns the
canonical i?86-pc-linux-gnu for modern Linux/x86 systems again.
However, this config.if stuff is broken too:
* It is irrelevant for binutils, only relevant for libstdc++.
* It is stupid to use __GLIBC_MINOR__ as some sort of ABI indication.
* It should be possible to configure for i586-pc-linux-gnu on any
Linux/x86 ELF system.
etc. etc.
Can we *please* get rid of it ASAP, use a *sane* library versioning
scheme for the new libstdc++, and use proper autoconf checks to check
for features only available in recent versions of the GNU C Library?
