Should we care about those who have guessed wrong? I think it would be ok for us to report *-sun-solaris10 for Solaris 10 and above. It wouldn't break the property for earlier OSs. The only catch is that earlier config.guess scripts would (probably) still report sparc-sun-solaris2.10, so newer configure scripts could be written based on this dated assumption and break. But people are encouraged to ship new software using the latest copies of these files, so I don't consider this a big deal. -- Alexandre Oliva Enjoy Guarana', see http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat GCC Developer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} CS PhD student at IC-Unicamp oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist Professional serial bug killer
