A recent discussion on d...@httpd.a.o revealed, that config.guess and config.sub bundled with httpd src dist is to old for AIX 6.1. It contains a pattern AIX[45] which prevents correct detection of the platform. More recent config.guess has AIX[456].
As far as I can see, config.guess and config.sub is in svn for apr (in the build subdirectory) and gets copied over to apr-util and httpd by the respective buildconf scripts. It would be nice if someone could update config.guess and config.sub in svn for apr in all actively maintained branches. The ones in trunk seem fine for AIX (Joe updated them in March), but if we update the branches ow, we could maybe also update trunk to prevent letting the trunk ones get older than the branch ones. The AIX change was done in January 2008 but the latest version of the files is available at http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/tree/ The version in There is another copy of config.guess and config.sub in the expat directory of apr-util. That one seems to be decoupled from the par one and the buildconf script there has a comment, that it is necessary to use a special copy of config.guess/config.sub for expat. So I don't know how to handle the one bundled with expat, update or not touching? Regards, Rainer
