Thanks, Ken. Found it.
So I went looking through config.guess on this 7.2, pro'ly the same,
dated 2011. It does some uname -[mrsv] and goes into a huge case:
x86_64:Linux:*:*)
echo x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
exit ;;
Guess there's no hope for it, every time config.guess is run that's
what it'll return. Tim's right, over-riding it everytime is a PITA.
Hrumpf! But it's UGLY.
Why is it any more unknown than any i*86 which ALWAYS returns "pc"?
OK, that's just a rhetorical question.
i*86:Linux:*:*)
LIBC=gnu
eval $set_cc_for_build
sed 's/^ //' << EOF >$dummy.c
#ifdef __dietlibc__
LIBC=dietlibc
#endif
EOF
eval `$CC_FOR_BUILD -E $dummy.c 2>/dev/null | grep '^LIBC'`
echo "${UNAME_MACHINE}-pc-linux-${LIBC}"
exit ;;
