Simon: Thanks for your bug report. "./config.guess --help" says to report its bugs to config-patches@gnu.org, so I'm forwarding your bug report there, and please followup there. (Autoconf merely copies config.guess from upstream.) Thanks.

The script queries the output of uname, which is on the machine I test on (IBM Z with Unix System Services USS):

OS/390 S0W1 29.00 05 3931

because of OS/390 the script sets

     *:OS/390:*:*)
     GUESS=i370-ibm-openedition

The vendor ibm is correct, the os "openedition" _may_ be fine, but the cpu type is definitely not correct, standing for the 32bit mainframe architecture System/370 from 1970.


Instead, the cpu 3931 is part of the IBM Z architecture (z16, "Telum" from 2022).

Maybe _if_ there is any cpu part just place it in there (or do a mapping to zNN) or use a place holder like ibmZ?
