As there are no formal releases of the config.guess/sub scripts, I
thought I'd send a rare announcement. As it's now 2012, these
well-known GNU scripts have turned 20. config.guess was originally
written by Per Bothner, and Per also maintained config.sub for many
years post-1991. (If you are the person who originally wrote
config.sub, please let us know!)
Very few of the obsolete systems detected by config.guess have been
removed and it has become a museum of sorts. Here are a few examples
to reminisce about:
RISC*:ULTRIX:*:*)
echo mips-dec-ultrix${UNAME_RELEASE}
m88k:CX/UX:7*:*)
echo m88k-harris-cxux7
M88*:DolphinOS:*:*)
echo m88k-dolphin-sysv3
DPX/2?00:B.O.S.:*:*)
echo m68k-bull-sysv3
paragon:*:*:*)
echo i860-intel-osf1
mc68030:UNIX_System_V:4.*:*)
echo m68k-atari-sysv4
*:TOPS-20:*:*)
echo pdp10-unknown-tops20
You can get the scripts from https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config,
and they are kept up-to-date in Gnulib
(https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnulib) for convenience.
Cheers,
Ben
