A configure run on SunOS-4.x and other older systems for a medium sized configurations typpically takes 4 hours. The code for config.guess has been completely reordered so that it is not possible to tell whether thare are bad changes inside (note that I added and forwared many patches to support various additional platforms). In general, the created shell codes is no longer portable and seems to at least partially depend on bash bugs. BTW: schily autoconf fully supports cross compilation (since aprox. a year) and GNU autoconf still doesn't.
