No: on the contrary, I expect that there are a few more. However,
it's still the case that only a very small number of programs are
affected, compared to the hundreds (or thousands?) of programs that
use config.guess and config.sub.

Not this academic quarter; they're using Python, which isn't affected.
However, in past quarters I have had them build GCC, so they were
affected. (Others in my department think I'm crazy to have
undergraduates look inside GCC; they prefer to teach with toy
compilers. But I digress....)

Ah, OK, you must be referring to the current CVS, which has ripped out
support for SunOS 4 and earlier. I was referring to the latest stable
version, GCC 3.3.2, which still has some files with sunos4* names.
But at any rate this discrepancy is a minor one, as I'm not proposing
to rename all those files right now.
