Hello, Autoconf, Browsing the CVS development tree at http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/autoconf/config.guess I see: *:OS/390:*:*) echo i370-ibm-openedition exit 0 ;; Of course I'm pleased to see that OS/390 is being recognized in a future autoconf. However, I see a possible conflict. In a widely distributed autoconf variant from Mortice Kern Systems Inc. at: File that you are currently viewing Linkname: MKS Products - S/390 � OpenEdition--GNU Utilities URL: http://www.mks.com/s390/gnu/index.htm Link that you currently have selected Linkname: Other URL: http://www.mks.com/s390/gnu/register.htm I find instead: *:MVS:*:* | *:OS390:*:*|*:OS/390:*:*) # uname -m gives a processor model number echo s390-ibm-os390 # on R1 and R2, uname -s reports OS390 exit 0 ;; # on R3, uname -s reports OS/390 I invite you to consider which of these should be in the mainstream autoconf. Possible factors to weigh are that "370", "MVS" and "OpenEdition" are all obsolete terminology. The MKS variant also has other OS/390 adaptations you might wish to consider, including a test for the POSIX C compiler, c89, that I find suggested in your TODO file, and a configuration test for the EBCDIC character set.
