I've been working for porting GNU/Linux to Hitachi SuperH processor.
(Please visit http://www.m17n.org/linux-sh/ for the project.)
SuperH is the CPU for embedded target, PDA, and video game machine.
Our target tuple would be:

Hi,
But anyway, let's apply this patch, it is a basis for further
changes. For instance we might implement --update which could wget
the files if possible, and --report which could automatically send the
message. We have already talked about this some time ago.
I'm happy to apply this
With the exception of prerequisite tests, tests in Autoconf are
conceptually independent. You can carry out AC_PROG_LEX and
AC_PROG_YACC concurrently.
Has any thought been given to heading in this direction in the future?
On 8-way Linux machines, build times can be dominated by the

It's that time again. The config.guess script is losing on GNU/Linux and
this time, I'm going to fix it.
Background: on many GNU/Linux systems, config.guess uses the output of `ld
--help' to determine which architecture, object file format and C library
version the build system uses. The
After much pondering on how to best solve the much-needed cleanup for Linux
detection in config.guess, I have made a start. Some of the grossness will
remain with us for some time until I can be sure that there will be very few
users on certain systems--such as a.out SPARC Linux.

When it comes to people building distro packages, here is another idea
thinking out loud. What's wrong with ..
$ find /tree/of/src/trees -name config.guess -exec ln -sf /etc/config.guess {}

This puts the latest version into the tree, no patching required.

Ah, OK,
I suggest to move the man pages for config.guess and config.sub from
autoconf to the config CVS.
May be a good idea, if Ben agrees. I think this can safely wait until
after Autoconf 2.60, though, which we'd like to release ASAP.
I was not even aware that man pages exist; naturally I
A few years ago, a friend submitted a Debian bug report against Autoconf
because it included `readable' in the permissions mask of the configure

when reconstructing the configure command line. This may well also
apply to other configure options.
A bug?
